Damn. Best I've built is a 6 hard drive, 6 cpu (quadcore, so 24 core total), 18gb ram machine running ubuntu. I felt that was pretty fast. Guess not. helmer3.sfe.se/ - Will be most awesome computer

I lost interest when he refered to 2GB as 2,000MB - He's clearly not a professional.
All in all I am not impressed. I've seen calculators with more power... But then again, work's pencil sharpeners were made by Scientific Atlanta...

I think it's quite cool.

Zell: It's because that's what most people associate them as and I doubt the video was made by -him- as opposed to someone else in the same company.

2GB in Snow Leopard is 2000MB, they changed it. Which is annoying when copying files from windows to mac

Actually he said it was over 2,000 MB which it was. The person who made the video put 2GB. Maybe it wasn't quite 2GB. Although I don't think anyone cares 48MB worth.

That article is wrong. I'll scan some of my CISCO stuff later.

Fairly awesome, excluding the fact that all the hard drives are dangling about like an unprotected nutsack. That's just a bad idea.

I think they're fine. That was to show how solid state drives don't skip when you bang them around. The fact that they're unprotected and hanging by wires is still a horrible idea.

While I didn't read most of it, it seems to be jumbling a few things together and confusing things. In base 2 (which they do say), 1MB = 1024KB. So 2GB = 2048 MB = 2,097,152KB. As opposed to 2GB=2000MB=2,000,000KB. Hard drive manufacturers, though, use base 10. Which mucks things up. Because they say 1000MB=1GB, they can sell you a 500GB hard drive that is really ~12GB less when it shows up in base 2 on Windows and Linux. Apple switched to base 10 for Snow Leopard to try and ease the confusion over the fact that someone's 500GB hard drive shows up as having only 488GB on a fresh wipe. It's the manufacturers cheaping us out of the full drive size that they promise, because everyone is used to base 2.
