well looking at SSD but have no clue on that to look for

just want something fast and cheap on newegg

want something big enough for OS/benching

I have Vertex 2, under $100 for 60GB now that the vertex 3 are out. Duke is the expert and he's the one that told me never buy more than 60GB

well its just me and you online lol

wanted to ask nero but his not on messager

im having 2nd thoughts wifes going to

She cut off your dick years ago when you got married, what's so bad about losing your head ???

edit: can I say that here ??? :

Nero plays with Intel stuff , very expensive comparably speaking. Vertex 2 for inexpensive performance

WOW!

I am using the Intel 320 160GB one in my work computer it's pretty good, and fast

It'll happen to you one day too Kiki : IT's part of the wedding ceremony, kind of like the ring, except the guests don't get to watch her cut it off and put it in a safety deposit box

The intel's are slow as dogs compared to what Duke just posted

Problem is, they're all so fast the human brain can't distinguish the difference :laughing?

Neuro plays with all kinds of stuff

the 60GB rule was for SATA2 when larger drives used different NAND chips that were less resilient.

Now the difference between a 60 and a 120 or even a 240GB drive is usually performance related. Only sometimes will a mnaufacturer use different NAND modules in different desnity SSDs.

Intel/Micron stuff (they actually have a joint venture and still use micron model numbers on all their parts,, and called me an insider because I asked questions I was not supposed too so no more testing Intel SSDs I guess) is great for desktop OS NOT for benching.

For benching its all about sandforce. Definitely go SF2200 even if you are sata-2 limited.

Because on small file sizes, you will hit the limitations much sooner on SATA2 then with a dedicated SATA2 drive.

(Sound backwards, but it makes sense, you are going to maximize the interface sooner with a SATA3 drive)

Vertex3 is among teh best of the drives you can get. However in a pinch the agility 3 will get you to 90% of that performance benching and in general desktop you will not be able to tell.

Sorry been away guys trying to take care of stuff before the holidays as I am moving after them

SSD's are nice. But they don't help your overclock if that what you're looking to do. They're only good for PC Mark 05.

These are really good. OCZ Vertex 3 60gb They come with the new firmware so you won't have to flash them. $79.99 after the mail in rebate. i just bought 4 of them. They're really fast. I'm having problems with them being too fast on xp startup in pcmark 05.
