I have an old Pentium M 1.7Ghz laptop with 1Gb RAM, running XP PRO.

The original HDD died, so I've now replaced it with a 64GB SSD drive (no moving parts). Reason being - more energy efficient, things load much faster, run cooler and are more rugged.

However - I now face the dilemma of "wear" on the SSD - which I want to reduce. I only use the laptop for web surfing/MSN, movies/music, occasional CD burning and checking out my Skyline's health via the CONSULT port. I don't play games on it.

I have 3 options that have come to mind to "reduce wear" on the SSD.

- Leave it as is - it will not make much difference in the life of the SSD - it will wear out regardless....

- Turn off the page file - Would 1 GB RAM be enough?

- Turn off the page file and buy and extra 1GB ram effectively making it 2GB RAM.

I really don't want to spend too much extra money on this laptop as it is essentially just an Internet machine.

Cool - I've done that now ;) . However I've noticed the page file is still in use... Very odd because I restart the laptop serveral times to ensure that the setting applied...

Anyone have any suggestions/tips...

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
