I know this has been covered several times but I have a couple of questions I hope to clear up.
I am thinking of buying a SSD for my boot drive/programmes. I am after a speed increase for opening/booting etc. I don't have a particularly slow computer (AMD 550 BE unlocked/overclocked to 3.6ghz x 4, 4gb 1066 ddr2, samsung spinpoint f1 320gb, etc...) and the computer does not really get used to its full potential. However I am a big fan of not waiting around for things to happen.
The computer is mainly used for ms office related work, music, films, email, and other university work (this involves virtually building molecules etc but nothing too ott), because of this I am looking at the budget end of the SSD market i.e. under £130.
At this price range will there be any significant improvement in loading times? If so what drive is generally recommended in this price bracket? Is the 30gb ocz vertex a better buy than the 64 kingston SSDnow which is £20 cheaper?
I am using windows 7 rtm at the moment but I have a copy of home premium waiting to be installed so this would be a good time to change hard disks.
