Today I have recorded a small video of a computer with very low performance and how it can get to boot A LOT faster than your new and shining computer/Mac.
How is that possible? First, you need to get rid of your hard drive and use some pretty fast Compact Flash card to locate the OS. This is not very easy, since not all the CF cards can stand up for the job. You will need a damm fast one and as trusty as you can pay.
In my case, money limits storage to 4Gb, but if I were richier I could go up to 16gb for a moderate amount.
Second, I am using a very cheap computer, runing on an AMD Geode LX800 at 500Mhz wich provides very little processing power, but, if you are careful with what you demand at the same time, it can do the job surprisingly well. Of course it is not the king of multitasking, but you will have no trouble watching xvid o divx movies (do not think of high definition) or surfing the web, or using openoffice.
Despite the cpu is not very powerful, it is also not hungry of electricity, allowing an absolute zero noise when operating. Of course, it also does not heat up, running between 35º and 40º with warm temperature (24º) in the room.
It also has 4 USB ports and many other interfaces to keep conected.
So, that is about the talking, let's see the video:
