| 823241 | 2009-10-29 09:48:00 | Alright, now I think I'm a bit confuzzled. I don't have time to read ALL that in midst of studies, so can you tell me if I'm right Sol? So if I understand correctly, TRIM will prevent SSDs from keeping track of invalid data which degrades the memory cell? So does that mean SSDs with TRIM will be as good as normal HDDs and not take a performance toll as it ages? |

| 823242 | 2009-10-29 09:52:00 | Looks like the 920 is getting a replacement and the X58 platform keeping a reasonably priced processors. Intel may be set to discontinue its excellent Core i7-920 chip within the next few months, but we've just heard confirmation that its replacement will arrive in Q1 2010. It'll be called the Core i7-930. At 2.88GHz it'll be a drop-in quad-core, eight thread upgrade for current LGA 1366 motherboards, although we're yet to find out whether this will be a 45nm or 32nm part. We've also heard prices are likely to be comparable to the current Core i7-920 too, meaning that those LGA 1156 Core i7-860s and 870s will still have to drop in price considerably to become attractive for UK buyers. If you're planning an upgrade, we'd still advise LGA 1366 as the route to take. www.bit-tech.net Just in time for a new year upgrade, and good news on the possible price drops on the 1156 i7s. |

| 823243 | 2009-10-29 10:00:00 | Hmmm maybe I'll put off my planned upgrade till next year? What do you guys reckon? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

So does that mean SSDs with TRIM will be as good as normal HDDs and not take a performance toll as it ages? TRIM wipes invalid\deleted or modified data and prevent degrading of the drive in MLC models, IE the cheap ones.... |

| 823245 | 2009-10-29 10:19:00 | So TRIM is going to make sure MLC-based SSDs do not degrade, and therefore negate the 5-year minimum lifespan? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 823246 | 2009-10-29 20:21:00 | MSI has the new motherboard listed now on the web site, its called Trinergy! eu.msi.com Its doesnt look to have the hydra chipa, but the Nvidia NF200 chipset (new) for 3 PCIe slots 2 @ 16 and 1 @ 8, but you cant mix cards.... |

| 823248 | 2009-11-12 23:05:00 | Well, here is the final result. :D Antec Twelve Hundred Silverstone 750w PSU Asus P7P55D Pro Intel i7 860 2.8GHz 4x2GB (8GB) Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD Prolimatech Megahalems CPU cooler with 1156 socket mount and Scythe LED Fan I can't believe I bought the Antec Twelve Hundred over the TJ-10, but I did. Really do like the look of it. That lot is also going with a 750w Silvertsone PSU, Asus GTX 260, 3x 1TB, 1x 500GB, 1x 320GB and 1x 250GB Seagate hard drives. Going to use my current LiteOn DVD RW but upgrade to a BluRay drive/DVD burner soon. Going to wait until Nvidia release their new graphics cards, re-assess the situation and buy a big mother something or other card. Thanks heaps for everyone's help, especially Sol with the technical stuff about SSDs etc. This was by far the most difficult build to put together I've done, there's so many options right at the moment to choose from. |
