Default [TH] Full Speed Ahead for Intel SSD's
Quote:
Intel held a media briefing today regarding its solid state drive (SSD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive ) business, outlining speed, size, OEM partnerships, and some tasty benchmark numbers. SSD product line manager Kishore Rao, got the ball rolling by outlining the two types of SSDs Intel would be releasing in the coming months. Intel will be releasing six drives total, two under the Extreme SATA SSD line, and four under the Mainstream SATA SSD name. The Extreme drives will initially come in only the 2.5-inch size, with 32-and-64 GB flavors. The Mainstream drives will be available in the 2.5-inch form factor as well, but will also come in the 1.8-inch size, allowing all those netbooks and ultraportables the kids are crazy about these days to utilize solid state speed without a huge sacrifice on size. Both sizes will come in 80 GB and 160 GB varieties.
get ready poeple...

I don't see how you can spend $600 just on drives and have a system that pulls only 16fps under any cases.

Having cutting edge technology allows you to accelerate time. Duh.

To answer most of your questions: (1) a fridge cannot cool a PC (2) 64-bit OS for over 3.4GB (3) If a PCIe card fits, it should work (4) Resolution, not screen size (5) If you have a question, it is not news (6) Report, not respond to Spam (7) Single-Rail/Non-Modular PSUs are not always better than Multi-Rail/Modular

not to mention this only show read speed of the disks.

In terms of writing the SSDs strongly fall back.
**One solution to this is a SATA Controller with huge DDR2 cache which makes the SSD platform even more expansive**
