Also, the bbwc gives you more memory. The onboard 5i had only 4MB. The bbwc gives you 64mb. adam |---------+-----------------------------> | | richard van beers | | | <richard.van.beers| | | @gmail.com> | | | Sent by: | | | thin-bounce@freeli| | | sts.org | | | | | | | | | 03/10/2005 11:58 | | | AM | | | Please respond to | | | thin | | | | |---------+-----------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | | cc: | | Subject: [THIN] Re: bbwc | >----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------| Why would a battery WC perform better then an A/C powered WC? Assuming there *is* A/C.. I always assumed battery WC is there to prevent transactional DBes from having corrupt records due to a sudden power failure. So it will not mark a transaction done, while in fact it is stuck in cache. Am I wrong?
