Advice on possible use of TC on old Dell laptop

<< < (3/3)

lha_user:
Thanks all for the feedback !

You gave me some things to think about...
Regarding CFcards and lifetime: Yeah, I know thats something to consider. The
problems seems to be that  nobody really knows how bad(or good) it is..Given  a write lifetime
of 10.000 times and the wear-levelling built into the controller  one can, perhaps, count on
a higher amount of  writes in reality?? Anyone heard of someone actually breaking a CF card by exessive
writes caused by swapping??? The cards ar so cheap that I can make a couple of spare installs to keep as
reserves.


Yes, I will keep the Laptop and I will install TC (not XP...), on CF, but first I have to catch up on the
different modes of operation, I must admit that i am a little bit confused of the new mode
descriptions. My last install was TC 2.10 on a desktop PC...Things have changed a LOT since then.

Thanks again - I will let you know how it went by.
