[Nottingham] FLASH vs HDD

[Martin]

OK Folks,

Continuing my deliberations for an 'ultimate PC' :-)

... Next question (not that I've finalised the earlier questions yet...)

Will I gain much of a speedup by using a USB flash drive for storing the
OS and applications?

I've seen a 4GB pendrive advertised at "x150" speed. What is that x150 of?!

Anyone tried this?

And what is the best fs for flash?


Or am I wasting my time?...

Any comments?

Cheers,
Martin
