I have number of reasons to be able to have my OS on a Flash Drive. Portability, security, and if I'm not wrong speed. If you can do this would you mind telling me how and also links to information.
If I'm not wrong Vista should boot from a Flash Drive in about 15-20 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
"Now if the 4870x2 was actually notably faster than the 280 for about the same price, then I might even take a chance on it. However, that won't be the case."

Don't have one yet but I'll probably go with a 32 based on what you have stated.
I'm not looking at high sustained but very fast burst speed for quick startup and shutdown. Also Writes won't be important but Reads and Access Time will.
I'll be using a Velociraptor for Gaming, Pictures, and Large Documents.
Everything else will be a secondary HardDrive or Home Network Server where speeds won't be as important.

I have vista with all updates and some programs on my C partition, and it is about 14.3 gigs. But I also have the pagefile on a seperate partition, and I've disabled system restore. So I think you definitely should get a 32gb flash drive.
With that said, I'm not even sure if it is possible to install Windows on the drive, and if it is, it may kill the drive fairly quickly do to constant access to it. I'm not completely sure, but this is just something that might happen.
I'm actually looking at this one.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227272 This project probably won't take off till next week so I have some time for suggestions. I already downloaded the "stuff" to get it started but I'm not quite bored enough to get it going.
Should.
I've already downloaded the Virtual PC and AIK so I'll work on getting it going this week.
Edit:
And that would be a no. Definatly going to have to go to a 32 as I'm already at 17.8.
