Solid State

10 March 2009 | 10:09 PM

Huzzah, Windows users! Someone has finally figured out a way to make your crappy Vista machine actually perform operations at the speed of a computer rather than, say, a constipated glacier. It turns out the trick is you just need to daisy-chain 24 solid-state drives together. So practical! So cheap! Ahem.

While I poke fun, I must admit it’s freaking wicked to watch a PC open every element of Microsoft Office simultaneously launch and open within half a second. On the other hand, this might be the first time I’ve ever seen most of those Office applications, since generally launching them takes so long I usually just get bored and walk away looking for something shiny.
