Samsung NC20

One of the best things I like about the new Samsung NC20 is that unlike most Netbooks it has 12.1 inch screen and actually one of the very few laptops with Via’s Nano CPU. Here are some of the features of this laptop: It has a1.3GHz Via Nano processor, RAM of 1GB, VGA output, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 megapixel camera which is quite useful for video conferencing, hard drive of 160GB and comes with Windows XP.

Another excellent feature of this laptop is that it actually has a larger touchpad compared to most of the netbooks. The full-size keyboard seems to be easy to use; however, there seem to be no quick launch buttons. This however is a common thing for most netbooks. The laptop does not have HDMI ports or ExpressCard slots.

Enable DMA to reduce processor cycle consumption during burning data to CD/DVD or reading data from CD/DVD


Enabling DMA mode on IDE channels will consume less processor cycles almost reduce consumption of processor cycles from 50% to 5%.  Windows 2K/2000 and Windows XP fail to enable DMA on IDE devices automatically. Though enabling DMA will not boost writing speed on to the disk, it will consume less processor cycles which can be used for another purpose.

By default PIO (Programmed Input-Output) transfer mode is set on IDE drivers in windows XP and 2000. PIO transfer mode consume more processor cycles because the central processor transfers data word by word or byte by byte.

When DMA transfer mode is enabled, small processor called DMA controller takes the burden of transferring data between IDE devices. Once the central processor starts the data transfer and transfers the control to DMA controller, the DMA controller looks after the data transfer and after completing the total transfer the control is transferred from DMA controller to central processor thus the central processor gets less involved in the transfer and so CPU cycles are saved which can be used by another programme.
