[Arm-netbook] Card Power Classes

[Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross]

what about a standard for categorising the different cards based on
there computer resources/speed. like sd cards classes.

so speed class 1
if no use 2 only usb 1.*

speed class 2
usb 2
less than 1ghz & less than 1gb ram

speed class 3
usb 2
more than 1ghz & 1gb ram

speed class 3
usb 2
more than 1ghz & 1gb ram
gb ehternet

...etc


multimedia class SD
only capable of sd video

multimedia class HD (720)
only capable of HD video

multimedia class Full HD (1080)
only capable of Full HD video

gaming class 1
old games upto games form mid 2000's
etc

for the question what class for video editing

multimedia class full hd and speed class 5


Or what about making it only 1 class to worry about?:

gaming
g1 old games
g2 newer games
g3 lastest games
multimedia
mm 1 = music playback
mm 2 = basic audio editing
mm 3 = advanced audio editing
mm 4 = sd video playback
mm 5 = hd (720) video playback
mm 6 = full hd (1080) video playback
mm 7 = sd video editing
mm 8 = hd (720) video editing
mm 9 = full hd (1080) video editing

generic
g1
upto 6webpages at a time
minamul multi tasking
text documents
g2 upto 30 web pages at a time
g4 upto 80 webpages at a time
etc


This is just a suggestion on of what it might look like. What would you
suggest?

oh yea, this would make it so much more easier for people, currently
it's a nightmare for them to know what spec they need. they end up
buying more than they need, out of fear or thanks to bloody sales human.

ok, there is only one shot at that, and it's by using the difference
between the 5.0mm and the 3.3mm heights. i want to reserve that for
the RGB/TTL output resolution.

so, 5.0mm CPU Cards (which will NOT fit into a 3.3mm slot) shall be
720p (maximum resolution of 1280x800)

3.3mm CPU Cards (which will fit into BOTH 5.0mm and 3.3mm slots)
shall support up to 1080p (maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080).

this still obeys the "slot it in, it will work" sales pitch... which
is a slight lie, because it is actually "*if* it fits in the slot, it
will work".

i'm not willing to push the luck any further than that, however.

speed classes 1, 2, 3, 4 .... that is *way* out of the "if it fits, it
will work" sales pitch. it's far too complex for the average person
to comprehend, far too complex a sales pitch.

the sales pitch should LITERALLY be "you get what you pay for, here
are the options ($20 to $100), but all of them work".

it will be the salesman's job to sell the end-user faster versions
with more memory, faster interfaces etc.
