Visual Studio 2010 BETA 2 memory usage is rather high 1 Nov 2009 | 08:20 am
185 MB after startup on 32-bit Windows XP Pro, compared to 38 MB in Visual Studio 2008 – 15 minutes of simple usage (test code) and memory usage goes up to nearly 300 MB, that’s not a good sign…

Adaptec 52445 (5 series) does NOT work with Seagate 1.5 TB with SD15/SD17/SD18 firmware 18 Aug 2009 | 02:59 am

If it works, then all is fine, however once it doesn’t and it is something on the line/exchange, then you are in trouble … 3rd day without my normal line, thank goodness for backup fiber optic cable l...
Adaptec 52445 (5 series) and Seagate 2Tb Barracuda LP does not work either 1 Aug 2009 | 07:11 am
I had high hopes that Adaptec 52445 will at least work with new Seagate 2 TB disk, but I should have known better – the controller (with the latest available firmware) does NOT see the disk at all. I’...
