Chrome OS, or just the browser? If it's the OS, care to provide your methods?

i think you don't have to worry about cpu usage to get better battery life... on another forum we did some math to calculate the power absorption of a single zacate core, and the result is that an E-350's dual 1,6 ghz cpu will suck as much as 2,4 W in a worst case scenario... so the GPU is the real battery killer in this case, and almost anything you can try to optimize cpu usage will not give any measurable benefit, since the cpu power consumption is so small compared to the gpu...

Thank you for answering this. I guess i can stop messing with the different codec and media player combinations.

There is a easy way to check if the second pci-e really supports PCI-E interface...

just remove the wifi and place it there, you ill need to hold it, if is still detected by windows 7 device manage it means it support pci-e...

I have my doubs because that slot is for WWAN... that means its wired to the SIM slot too... it may only have USB support.

Guys i think this is a moot point
I know in most hp laptops they do not implement pci-e on the wwan slot
And even if they did, they would allow only a predefined list of cards
A good test is to put your wifi card in wwan slot and see if it detects it

Edit: i guess i said the same thing as the person above

I've sent them an inquiry as to their return policy, letting them know exactly what I intend to order it for, and the reason behind it's possible return. They wont get it till Monday (holiday...) or Tuesday, so I'll order it next week (Tuesday hopefully), get it by Friday, and have results up in 7 days.




It's merely to test. 16gb is as *cheap* as we can make it happen for testing purposes. Good point though, I don't think anyone would shell that amount for the 16gb version.

Alright everyone, the super mods have come and handcuffed me for having such a massive signature (being too helpful can get you in trouble!) - So, I'm going to be relocating the "records" to the top of the Jackharvest.com FAQ page.

Chrome browser. Sorry for the confusion.

The big question is still out there - is the CPU/GPU OCable?

[FMruss]

Gigabyte is enabling OC on the E350s on their micro-itx motherboards.

Hey FMruss,

I'm wondering about this ReadyBoost feature...could you tell me a little more about that? I've experimented with it using a USB stick before, but that was a paltry 1GB stick that already had stuff on it.

I'm wondering what benefits it would offer on a bigger scale, like your 16GB SDcard. I've read up a little and it seems like it works like RAM, though they talk about using a 'cache'.

Could you explain a little about it? Would it be a good idea to use it on a HP DM1z with 4GB of RAM?
