I'm in the process of researching parts for a new computer build.
Whilst reviewing the pro/con of SSD i stumbled on this
Now this makes me wet.

Solid State Drive.

Basically think of a big thumb drive but I don't think they work the same, SSDs don't use FlASH RAM.

Move over SSD this thing KILLS ssd performance

Poor Relative just get a Macbook they are bloody fast and you don't need to stuff around building one. Macs also don't get Virus which helps.

Pfft. This is the real stuff



Yeah, the SSD tech is very cool. Can anyone comment on the reliability of said drives? Certainly flash drives are the new version of floppy disks.

WTF did he just say?

I have built my last two machines and already "rate my build" for this one on Whirlpool.
I have a real good friend who can source parts for me at cost, i generally give him my old gear as his profit.

This is my build thus far. Its a bit of a beast and i plan to OC as much as i can and get back into some serious gaming.
