Star Vista SuperFetch: Adding Another Cache Level to Your System
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 7th Oct 2006 17:50 UTC, submitted by PlatformAgnostic
Windows SuperFetch, a new feature of Windows Vista, is designed to intelligently manage memory pages to keep the system responsive even after running background tasks that take a lot of memory. Watch this Channel9 video to see how Vista attempts to form subsets of memory to page together. The speaker also touches on other new kernel-level features such as ReadyBoost and flash-based hibernate.

I need my disks clear and ready for action, the second the desktop appears; not three minutes later :|

Then buy a quad core with 4gb of ram.

And to add - Throwing hardware at an OS is not the solution. Ever since Windows 1.0, there have been other operating systems that have done more, with less hardware, over and over again. From GEOS to BeOS to OS X.

OSX may have a lot of things going for it, but doing more with less hardware isn't one of them.
