| 823229 | 2009-10-29 03:16:00 | oh I just meant this, I think thats a little simplistic. Gotcha. Looking at the thread you linked to, there seemed to be a lot of noobs getting their panic on after looking at the pics, thinking the dots were the marks left by the socket. I think that had made a lot of people panic, where the issue is not quite the same thing. There are certainly problems, no doubt there, but what are 3 year warranties for? |

And sure hueybot300 if you dont care about 6 cores or the 8x8 Sli CF, or the socket issue go 1156 its a personal choice, just so long as its a informed choice. My socket is just fine, and if it dies thats what warranty is for |

| 823231 | 2009-10-29 03:40:00 | 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? Just checked with Paul @ CL, the Intel SSDs come with a 3 year warranty. I'm pretty happy with that. :thumbs: |

| 823232 | 2009-10-29 03:47:00 | If you decide to get an Intel SSD right now, dont update its firmware straight away. Intel screwed it up (the other day), and it made a system unbootable, if you use the X25-M. If you use Windows 7 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

I'm pretty happy with that. :thumbs: Just saw an article can't remember where exactly (I've been studying for bio, writing a philosophy assignment and checking out SSD stuff all at the same time) about the X25-M. Intel says based on a 100GB/day data write the X25-M should last you 5 years at least. I've never had an HDD for that long myself, but I have some reservations on spending $550 for a rapidly growing technology.... Who knows, convince me when you've got it please!! :D |

| 823235 | 2009-10-29 09:17:00 | 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? research - latest updates including TRIM (anandtech.com) |

| 823236 | 2009-10-29 09:22:00 | 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 ;) You should see some of Anand's reviews....i like the sql random read\writes....probably 1 of the 1st reviews....I want for my virtual sql server data files...something in the region of 60x the performance of raid 0 on 4 15k SAS drives....thats is so far keen fast, can you imagine how many spindles you would need to get that on SAS...LMAO |

| 823237 | 2009-10-29 09:24:00 | Forgod sakes, for those that cant look back I want to hear your results and feelings on the Intel when it comes....have to say, i'm so jealous... |
