Saten -- yet more notes

The button on the stylus works to access the right-click popup. Press the button on the stylus and then click the item.

To get to Win 7's "startup" folder, click "Start". On the "all programs" entry, right-click and select "open". Then trace down to the Startup folder.

UPDATE: They did a new release of CCCP in October. So I downloaded that and installed it on Saten. It brings a copy of MPC with it, so that was fine.

Playing a 640*480 MKV file (first ep of Realbout High School) uses between 25% and 30% of the CPU, which isn't too bad at all.

But I wasn't getting subtitles. I remember that getting subtitles to work was a pain, but I'm not going to mess with it any further right now.

Alcyone, my muscle machine with quad cores, has these numbers:

Processor: 6.9
RAM: 6.9
Graphics: 6.8
Gaming graphics: 6.8
Disk transfer rate: 5.9

Saten's numbers:

Processor: 2.7
RAM: 4.4
Graphics: 4.4
Gaming graphics: 2.5
Disk transfer rate: 5.1

Guess those SSD's really have the speed, eh?

Considering that Alcyone was designed for high power gaming, and cost more than twice as much, it's hardly surprising. But so far I haven't really felt as if Saten was unreasonably slow, for the kinds of things I've been doing.
