| 823209 | 2009-10-29 01:21:00 | I personally would sacrifice the SSD and go for an X58 platform. Funny, Anand said that he had been using a SSD for about 12mth or so and wouldnt go back, that the difference a SSD made to any platform was so great.... I knida think he's saying something there....I reckon the difference between x58 & P55 isnt as great as a either with a SATA2 drive compared to SSD for the o/s... Have you tried a SSD drive? |

| 823211 | 2009-10-29 01:40:00 | yea have to agree SSD is a huge pro, would def rather have a 1156 and SSD than a 1366 and a conventional HDD. There is no tangible performance diff between 1156 & 1366, well unless your focus is crunching. Chilling_Silence stop trying to lecture about basic GPU/CPU bottle necking, what your spurting is basic 101 gaming rig information. . Forged Alliance suffers "Sim speed" issues NOT FPS issues caused by a GPU bottleneck. It is a rare case, I have been heavily involved in investigating the poor AI pathways on larger maps. It is one of the few games that benefits having a I7@4gig over a I7@3gig. Something like 99% of current games will top out with the GPU first at higher resolutions thats a given unless your SLI/CF esp Quad. |

| 823214 | 2009-10-29 02:02:00 | Haha, I suppose mine could take a small detour on the way to mot... :p Really? :D But what about all the problems with SSDs? The performance degradation, the point where the cells cannot be used anymore after a few years, etc? |

| 823215 | 2009-10-29 02:03:00 | Really? :D No. :lol: Jokes, why not. But what about all the problems with SSDs? The performance degradation, the point where the cells cannot be used anymore after a few years, etc? Yeah well. You live with these things. Wonder what the warranty period on them is? Edit - and Battle, you seem to be the only one here arguing, everyone else is having a discussion. Chill is right.... ;) |

That there's very little point in always wanting to save another few hundred for the "next model up"? If what I'm saying is basic computing knowledge, why are you trying to prove me wrong? As for SSD's, that's where your "feel" performance upgrade will be for general day-to-day use. Who saw that video where they put some 16-odd SSD's in RAID and then launched every application in their start menu in around 4 seconds? I want one, now I just need to convince SWMBO why I *need* one ;) |
