Pacov: Those articles are too old now. Newer, cheaper, and faster SSD's are here.

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="15" id="2281508"] Quoting Sir-Astral, reply 7 To Jafo & NTJedi: Your comments make no sense. If this is all about moving forward, then are you saying that SSD's are taking a step backward in technology? No one ever said that or even implied such a statement. SSD is a step forward as we've been agreeing with the OP of this topic. Quoting Sir-Astral, reply 7 Additionally, just because t

[quote who="twifightDG" reply="12" id="2281419"]Just to avoid confusing from my post I'll clarify. I've never responded to the SSD vs RAM discussion. Both can be useful depending on your current system config. I've responded 1) to sir astral's claim that one OCZ can beat 3 or 4 Raptors in Raid0. I've posted numbers that that is nowhere near true, but I'll chalk that up to being overenthousiastic. No harm done. SSDs sure are fast and I like them too. And 2) I've responded to Ma

I am still seeing a lot of people missing the point on my post. So I will address some of the comments as best I can. If you complained about the price tag for SSD, I have already stated that I can understand that. My comments are provided within the context that someone is looking for a "performance" upgrade to their machine, especially if that considered "performance" upgrade is RAM. To Jafo & NTJedi: Your comments make no sense. If this is all

Okay gentlemen, lets shut this down. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/memory-module-upgrade,2264.html Above is a link to an article where someone did the work to find out if adding excessive amounts of RAM was worth it. It's simple. In the same way that many games do not benefit from multip CPU's they do not benefit from extra RAM beyond a certain point. On average most program would not utilize more than 2 gigs of RAM itself. This set the benchmark

I was reading some posts in this thread regarding opinions on SSD vs HDD. Hands down SSD. Let me explain a couple of reasons why SSD should be considered your next upgrade before anything else. For gamers as long as you have a decent 2.6 Ghz or better Dual Core, 2 gigs RAM, A current Video Card with 512mb Ram, and Sata 3.0 Gb/s. For non-gamers any system with at least a SATA port, does not even need to be SATAII or SATA 3.0 Gb/s. Now for some explanations as
