to true but its a shame they don't have the hot box section any more (no pun intended)
but yes in short it's an update only available to windows 7 so to all Ladys and Gentlemen polish off your HDD's, SSD's and fill up your wallets we are expecting to see the first of the DX 11 hardware at the end of this year

I think i'll just get a bunch of MLC SSD's and RAID0 them when the time comes. All depends on how good the controllers are though... these JMicron's have really dented the perception of SSD's imo.

Damn... when you count in that i need to get at least i5 platform by the end of the year, and now countig in DX11 gpu's... whole lotta money needed by the end of the year

All i can say is L. O. L.

well a lot of the cheaper SSD don't perform that much better than our humble VelociRaptor IMO the tech hasn't matured enough to make it mainstream viable the only one that fly's like the wind is the intel one and who wants to pay $800 + for 80Gb

as for platforms I'm going a AMD Dragon

I'm with you there. I am hoping that i5 will be somewhat affordable upon release (I admit I have not done much reading on it yet). If so I may dive right in, if not I'll wait until prices reduce.

Not to mention my 8800gt is showing it's age. I'm probably going ATi after this one though. Mo money mo money mo money....

Dunno, i have a netbook with a 4gb SSD (Lenovo S10) and i must say that i'm not in awe of its performance (i also doubt that its a performance model SSD). Seriously you can buy like 8TB of HDD's for one performance 80GB SSD... really is it worth it. And how much really are those SSD faster in real life?

AMD Dragon is certainly cheaper than i5 will be but i'm guessing the performance will be under it too, altho if youre a pure gamer AMD does a great job.

Yep, they're way too expensive right now. So, I'm planning on waiting a year or two - or whatever it takes. Until then, I might look into doing a RAID 0 with 2-3 VelociRaptors.

And this is why I'm only considering the Single-Level Cell SSDs. I'm not about to put that MLC junk in my system only to be constantly worried that it might fail before I'm ready for it to fail. I'd much rather have the peace of mind using an SLC. But again, it'll be a year or two before I actually buy one since the prices are still way too high. It's just like with all super-new technology: I'd much rather wait a while so that it's affordable.

From what I've been reading here on OCN, SSDs in general are much, much faster. It's as if everything is loading from memory, including Windows. I saw one person mention a 15-second boot time on an SSD. It takes almost 15 seconds just for my system to do its POST!

@hackm0d

Welcome to the club, Nice rig you got there .. I really love that motherboard I wanted to get that before but it was to hard to find it from where I'm at... so decided to stick w/ the Green team..

SSD's really aren't about sequential reads - they simply rape hard drives at access times. >100 times quicker in most cases.
