Hi SharkFiNbowl,

I'm on Hong Kong Island in Midlevels, orignally from Australia, so a bit of a kid in a candy store with all the cool gear you can get here! :woot:

Send me a PM if you've got any more questions :happy:

Hey vault, I'm around the wan chai/midlevels area too!

thats a nice rig u got there Vault..

i want one of those keyboards though, where did u get urs from and what are they called? do they have a specific name?

let me know, thanks mate :)

Hi the_JOHN,

yeah they are sweet little keyboards. They are made by Benq, which is the "Funky" peripherals arm of Acer. Anyway, the keyboard is quite tactile - very much like the IBM Thinkpads keyboard, though a little smaller. Light as well - probably about 100-150 grams.

You can have a look at the "Mini Buddy" keyboard here at Benq's European site. I'm using a Benq mouse as well and the quality is top notch.

elfangor nice to see there are a few Hong Kong people on the board. I'll drop you a PM.

Here's mine... I need a bigger desk. I've got so much stuff on the floor and my CD's are all in my night table. It's a mess. I wish I had space for a corner desk but I gotta get mine custom made meaning I gotta build it myself and I still haven't gotten around to doing it :p

how much did it cost u Vault as i cannot seem to find anywhere in the UK that sell them

Cheap as chips actually! Bought it on a trip to Singapore and cost me S$50 which would work out to be about 25 euros if that helps your conversion. It should be about half the cost of a basic MS Internet keyboard for reference.

I had a bit of a look and I can't find anyone in the UK who has it available online.:pinch: Probably your best bet would be to ring up BenQ and ask them. The keyboard on the UK site has a great big flashing "New" next to it, so perhaps stock hasn't gone through the channel yet.

Hope that helps you out ;)

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
