or if you are using nLite and only need 1GB:

I do see the value in the SSD, though!! But ouch on the $$.

Staying in hibernation takes power. I usually turn the computer completely off. Regardless, this demonstrates the speed of the system.

Not true. In XP: Standby takes power, hibernation does not. You can hibernate indefinitely. In Vista: Sleep is a combination - if the power stays alive, so does the memory. If not, no problem, the memory is written to the disk, and that is read on power up.

oops, right, I was thinking standby.

I have to do some more tests on the thing. I want to make it so StreetDeck is loaded automatically.

In the difference between off(S5) and hibernate(S4) there is a small draw of power. I know it's not much, but I do think 'indefinately' is a very slight overstatement.

Take a look at 'nlite'. The image I use is only 200mb compared to a full windows cd and once installed use will use a fraction of the ram a full install will...

ah sweet. thanks for the tip

but beware that you'll have your hands cuffed a lot of the time, as you try to use bits that you've stripped out. Just be careful what you strip I guess
