Thread Revival!!!
so did anyone ever actually do this? i was considering it and am wondering how it turned out, especially with 1 GB cards in the $60 range.

dude....the thread is over 3 years old...your internet privileges have been revoked until further notice.
hence the fact that i asked if anyone ever did it.....(and if you'll notice i recognized that it's so old)
chances are slim that any of them are around here of gonna say something, but maybe someone else did it.

Sweet the thread lives on! And no, I never did this because I never got the carputer going, I just bought a incar Garmin GPS unit. Hmm.. maybe now its a good time to start this project back up again.

1gb compact flash for $64! You get 4 of these and you are ready to go!

if you want a fast CF install you need to get a SanDisk UltraII, ExtremeI, or ExtremeIII card.
well if the normal CF card are in Quad Raid, how slow can it be?

the new 1gb usb keyrings are fast for transfer, but its easier to use a laptop hd.
I actually only a few month ago bought some cf to ide converters, was going to plug 2 cf cards into my raid controller, and then found how slow cf was in comparison to usb2 keyrings.
problem was I could not find a way to raid 2 usb keyrings, so got 2 small hds and it does a continuose read of 56mbs.
dont think cf/usb will ever beat that.
its a good idea, but its not as fast.
Now if somewhere you could still buy a 'hardcard' like in the old pre ide mfm days......
an isa card with ram slots, lost all contents if powered down but boy was drive D: bloody quick!
I see no reasone why no company could not produce a pci card / ide module with 4 ram slots to take say 4*1gb sticks, giving 4gb on a pci card with battery backup, now thats an idea.

There's a PCI card that takes up to 4GB of RAM, is battery backed up, and has a SATA interface (instead of running directly off PCI, which means no special drivers). Many threads on this forum about it.
emmmm........
So if its sata, I see no reason (other than buggy sata implementation) why it wont run off idea with a converter, lots of them on ebay.

i've tried thisalong time ago
it's not fast at all, especially with only 24x cards
