Intel optimises Windows

Intel has created an application that allows users to optimise Windows by loading programs or files via its flash turbo memory cache.

The new process, officially referred to as “pinning”, is expected to significantly boost performance of data intensive programs, gaming, digital media editing and productivity software.

According to Intel, custom pinning profiles can be easily created to group applications or files that match the user’s activity.

It should be noted that the Volish Vista includes a similar feature known as Readyboost. The built-in Windows optimiser is capable of assigning 250MB to 4GB of flash memory with a 2:1 compression ratio.

This article has been copied word for word from Inquirer:

You could at least have rewritten to disguise where you got it from.

Also, it was the Inquirer that coined the term Vole and Volish relating to Microsoft.

This story is indeed from the Inquirer. iTnews pays a fee to use syndicated material from that site and a couple others. If you'll notice, this story has a copyright link from the Inquirer.net at the bottom. Good eye, though! And we're sorry about the dead pdf link, we're not sure why it didn't work.
