Hi guys, I am trying to buy a "SanDisk Mobile Premier 2GB Micro SD high speed", I believe it is fit for Kaiser, right?
Yep that'll work fine; be wary of buying on eBay as many tend to be fakes. Buy from a trusted reseller. I have got a 6GB for less than £40 delivered.
If your in the US, you can get great deals @ newegg.com
I purchased my 2gb microsd for 19.99, and 3 day ups is standard shipping.(costs like 3-5 dollars, on some cases its free shipping)
it supports cards over 2GB (Micro SDHC); i have a 2GB Micro SD for now, waiting for a 10-15GB model of the SDHC's to come out so i can dump all my music on it and ditch my iPod
dunno where ive got this from but i think/heard/got the vibe that the kaiser can only support up to 8gb sdhc?
that's great, I was think about a 2GB one but seems like it is not enough? Does Kaiser a good music/video player?

i get maybe 45 minutes out of a charge on the iPod anymore; it will permanently reside in my car soon enough. Dont get me wrong, the iPod is great and all, but pocket space is at a premium for me, and between wallet, cell/PPC, keys, iPod, ciggs, lighter, and PassCards my pockets are stuffed. If 8GB is the most the Kaiser will support, then so be it.

Yes we all need a slim pocket...
By the way here comes a new question, I found that all micro SDHC are come with CLASS 2, that means 9mb/s on reading and 5mb/s on writing... a little bit slow? It that necessay to buy a MicroSD Ultra II ?

up to 32 GB sd card in ATT Tilt

if you have a 1-2GB micro SD card now, i'd wait a while unless your dying for memory space; they are bound to up the read/write speeds and lower the prices. I teach digital photography, a few years back read/write speeds of memory cards mattered a LOT, nowadays most D-SLR's have a huge cache so a superfast memory card isnt such a big deal, and the prices are fairly decent. My bet is in 6 months an 8 gig Ultra II Micro SDHC shouldnt be more than $60.
thats great to hear RacerX10; even 10-15GB should effectively mean i dont need to drag my laptop and iPod everywhere; 32GB means pretty much ALL my media with me.
SDHC spec is up to 32gig, today the max you can actually buy is 6gig. By the time you can actually buy a 32gig, we'll be using different phones like TyTN III

6GB Micro SDHCs are available - Sandisk seems to be th eonly real supplier at this moment. I'm sure others will have theirs out soon too. I just bought one from www.mydigitaldiscount.com in the US. Got it with no issues, and I've filled 4.5GB of it with music and video.
8GB MicroSDHCs are targeted for release probably around the end of the year. Again, Sandisk will be the first supplier.
No one has even announced an official "coming soon" statement for anything bigger than 8GB yet.

Kaiser is a real good video player(Using TCPMP), but it also depends on the format.
My favorite, and In my opinion, the best format is .m4v (You may need a special convertor for that)
Other formats are either 2 big, or has really choppy playback.
Also you should increase your font and glyph cache to 32768 (makes things more responsive/ smoother)
the SDA SD Card Association has never quite said the 'maximum' size of a Micro SD; there is a theoretical maximum of 32 GB, hence the 'limit' at the moment, which IMO means merely a new 'type' of SD card in a year or two. as for hardware that reads them, there likely is a maximum size they can read.
Currently Samsung has an 8GB Micro SD in development, Kingston and Sandisk are sure to be right behind anyways. besides, its just a memory card; i have piles of 128MB Memory Stick Pro Duo's that i bought for my Sony S710a when it first came out, and 128MB was still a fairly sizeable card for a cell phone; now we're talking 6-8+ gigs...

That's great advise, I used to play .AVI with TCPMP and it works fine but haven't try to increase the cache, due to my Vario I is limited by its memory

Unless he is running dual, near 600w will suffice
I'd go 650 to be safe... Just remember, there's no such thing as too much power, just not enough traction.

there is no "just to be safe". Go for a good brand - ie antec, reseach what the vid card drinks, then get a little over. dont spend on what you dont need.
edit:
my initial suggestion was right on the dot.
here i did the research for you.
Code:
500 Watt or greater power supply with
two 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors
recommended for dual:(600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors)
I'm not sure if a Witch is going to help you with your power supply, only so much can be made in a cauldron
Now if you're asking which power supply you should get, then go for the biggest you can get in your budget, you never know what you might add in the future

not that expensive when you consider its the size of your finger nail - it wasn't that long ago you'd be paying the same ammount for a 3.5" hdd
double the capacity, yet more than 4x the price of a 16gb card.. come on.
£27 delivered for 16GB or £99 for 32GB ?
That's the equivalent of paying an extra £72 for gaining a mere 15GB more space.
do you think its easy to just double the capacity of something thats physically so small?
This is like comparing the price of a 42" LCD TV and 50" LCD TV...do u think the prices are proportionate ?? The difference is even more when u compare 50" and 105" (for a 100% increase we may have to pay abt 500% or more)

To be fair, that's not an accurate comparison. A 105" screen has more than 4x the surface area of a 50" screen. So, paying 500% more is not all that unreasonable. However, to pay 300% more for double the memory, while not unhear of historically, is a bit steep. I'll wait until August when they're £50!
Lol why are you people defending your reasons to buy one or not to? Isn't it your own choice? xD
you could get 3 X 16GB @ 27 quid for the price of one 32 GB! plus you have some money left for a packet of crisps and some cola bottles!
you could place the spare cards in the battery cover, where that spongey foam stuff is !

So why would a Class 4 32GB MicroSD card be useless? Or a Class 2 for that matter?
I have both a Class 4 and Class 2 16GB card and they both perform well - I'm sure there are differences (OK - I know there are differences) but to the human senses including watching full DivX movies and running PS1 Roms with FPSEce I have no problems at all? I personally am looking forward to the availability of a 32GB card - I tried to buy one from the guy on Ebay from Germany but he wouldn't ship to the UK - I would worry "too" much about Class 2, 4 or 6 just yet....

well..ok..maybe useless is quite a "strong" word..
but..i'll tell you what..i had an 8gb class 2 that (for the record) perform well..but now i bought a 16gb class 6 and trust me..with 10gb of mp3 and 4gb of divx has no slowdowns..never..and has an amazing transfer rate..
my point is: if u need alot of space for your device, u also need some speed..otherwise u got a tons of mp3s i.e. that only slow down your device..
just my two cents..

As I understand it the bus on the HD2 couldn't take advantage of the full class 6 speed anyway.
Sure, if you're transferring 10Gb of data from your computer onto the card directly, you'll notice the difference, but I reckon most people put their music on their SD card once, and leave it on, so it's hardly an everyday occurrence.
I know this is not a Sandisk but I think you might want to know.
Check this.
This is a class 4, very interesting for a cheap price. I'll follow your advice for now though.
Hey guys, I'm thinking about giving my laptop a little speed boost. This would be the first time I've replaced anything in a laptop to make it go faster (I've replaced an LCD before) and it looks easy enough, but is it worth the money?
I'm considering going to 8Gb DDR3 1333MHZ from 4Gb. It's going to cost about £60 for the RAM, and I'd sell the old stuff on ebay, which should make it slightly more affordable. RAM is the joint lowest windows experience index score with my HDD at 5.9, so that's why I thought I'd start there.
My computer specs are:
i-7 740qm 1.73GHz quad core processor
Nvidia 335M GPU
RAM would certainly be the cheapest and easiest thing to upgrade, but is it worth it? I do quite a bit of gaming, mostly Wii games with Dolphin Emu.
Cheers

4GB would seem like enough, but yea it should provide a performance boost. If you can, you should go with 1600Mhz instead of 1333Mhz. Btw what kind of laptop do you have? Also the more DIMMS, the more better.
8GB would provide a good performance boost.
4GB is optimal, and 8GB for anything in general is actually best. 1600Mhz would even be better.
Sorry for the two posts. I've been awake for the past 24hrs.
Also are you running your operating system in 64bit or 32bit? I figured I'd ask since your specs for a laptop seem fine regarding performance.
It's a Dell XPS L501x. 1600MHz also looks afforable, I might go for that. As I say I am new to this, is it definitely possible to put 1600 in to replace 1333? All I know about my current RAM is that it is 2x2Gb 1333MHz ddr3 204pin. Is it as simple as taking the laptop apart, out with the old, in with the new, boot it up? That's what the manual is suggesting.
Oh, and it's 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium

I'll look into your laptop to see if it is compatible, which it should be. Anyhow for my dad's XPS M1730, there is a little door on the bottom of it that needs to be unscrewed so you can replace the RAM. It is easy as pie, just make sure you install it correctly and check if your motherboard supports 8GB.
Okay I've checked out your laptop. It supports up to 8GB 1333Mhz so 1600Mhz is out of the question. So upgrade to 8GB 1333Mhz.
Fantastic, thank you. How much of a performance boost do you think it'll give? I'm eventually planning to upgrade to a faster hard drive too.

It will be notable.
Here is how RAM works with laptops.
2GB is Fair
4GB is Solid
8GB would be considered best. This includes desktops that are for gaming.
So if you ever build a gaming desktop, 8GB would be more than enough for enthusiasts gamers.
Your laptop comes with a 7200RPM Hard drive which is good as it is. I do not know if it supports a 10,000RPM hard drive. If anything you should check out solid state drives also known as SSD's. They are expensive, but they provide gorgeous performance. Just make sure your laptop supports it.
Well thats laptop is even speedier than my desktop from 2007 AMD 4400(something).
Using mostly a EeePC 1005HA (Win7 starter) with 2GB of RAM.
I found that the best way to use that excess RAM was by turning of the Windows Paging file/Swap file off. Windows is forced to use the RAM the computer got.
Which is giving a terrific speed boost. Have runned the 1005HA without Swap file since December 2009.
Also make sure to have updated BIOS firmware, my Desktop was sluggish and slow after installing Win7 Home. It turned out to be the BIOS needed a firmware that worked with Win7.
So most of here are geeks in the good scene of the word. We all have our mobile devices that we love and hack and tweak and mod. 98% of the time, to do what we need to do to our mobile devices, we rely on our PC. I'd be willing to bet that allot of you also have a strong attachment to your PC hardware as much as your mobile. Weather its for development, gaming, testing, surfing, working, pr0n? Use this thread to post specs and/or pics and show off all the hardware that sits between you and your modded mobile device.

Top Left, Clockwise -=> Dell Precision M6300, Dell Precision M90, Toshiba A215, HP TouchPad, Acer 5670
All configured similarly, less the Touchpad. Minor variance in CPU from 1.86GHz Core Duo to 2.4GHz C2D. All 4GB DDR2, All Win7 Ultimate (M6300 64Bit). I actually use the Acer the most as its Power/Weight ratio is awesome. It will do post modern 3d gaming with its 256MB Ati x1600 dedicated GPU. But I mostly work in Visual Studio on this. It is nice to be able to take a break and pwn some no0bs in the face and have great framerates . I love my Toshiba as a communications laptop. Its integrated web cam is top notch. And my Dell Precision's, well they are just 17" powerhouses. Mostly used for Mobile Gaming or movie viewing on their awesome large 17 inch displays (1440x900 native).
I did a search and didn't find any like posts. If I just missed it, feel free to merge this with it. If not, I look forward to see what everyone else uses when their not on their phone!
I got an Asus K53SV-SX838V notebook which has some nice specifications. In fact I use my notebook more then my phone.
I do use my notebook for playing COD MW3 and movies and tv series and sometime I like to try other operating systems like Linux, but will do that most time in vmware or live usb.
It's specifications are:
CPU: Intel Core I7 - 2679QM, 2.2Ghz with turbo boost till 3.1Ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 540 + Intel HD 3000
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 128GB Crucial M4
Further it has an 1366x768 resolution and its 15.6 inch. Also it has one USB 3.0 port and an multitouch touchpad and HDMI and a VGA port and an standard webcam.
I'm very happy with it and it was an good deal, I bought it for € 587 excluding the SSD ofcourse at end of january , it came with an 640GB harddrive which is now my external harddrive.
I have a stock Toshiba Satellite for a laptop but my gaming rig is as follows
AMD Phenom II 1090T 6 Core
16GB Corsair Dominator GT
Crossfired 6970's
1.5 TB SATA HDD
128 GB Crucial M4 SSD
7.1 Audio
Nothing real special but it works for me.
Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition
8GB ram
few terabytes of hardrives
2X 8600 GTi in SLi
C2D 2.6 (I think)
Some dust in the case
On a 23" Acer
Runs Skyrim without the slightest lag on all highest settings
Also MAcbook for everyday work, also connected to the 23" and it's closed all the time with an external KB and mouse. lol.

I gave up on desktop, I replaced it with a Lenovo Y470p laptop. Its the first laptop I've purchased even though I built plenty of desktop in past. Never wanted get a one until they are small enough with a decent gpu and price.
This one isn't high end either, but with the AMD HD7690 which is 10% slower than a desktop HD5750/6750, its good enough to handle Skyrim in high settings. And since I only play mostly HalfLife2 mods, that's good enough for me. The laptop screen is abysmal, but I wasn't going to shell out an extra $500 to get an HP Envy 15 with the same hardware spec and any screen larger than 14".
Although I'm using it stationary as a desktop replacement connected to my 32" LCD. The main problem I'm having in term of gaming is the HDMI output signal lags by 30-40ms compared to the main screen. Add that to the 80ms in game lag (due to crappy ATT DSL) and the input lag of LCD itself, and the result is getting owned by wallhackers.
I will never get used to the keyboard and touchpad on the laptop so I'm still using my Logitech G5. I'm down on my last G5 since the other one goes choppy, I think I need to stock up more from ebay, I can't get used to any of Logitech new mice since they seem lower quality. I certainly won't be using any wireless mice or ones with glowing LED lights.
The only mod I did is to turn off the turbo boost for the Core i7 so the temperature doesn't shoot up to 90*C.
