I wanna enjoy these perks too, but my current 333 GB partition isn't even enough, how am I supposed to use a tinier one? It's not like I can constantly delete and install stuff, now can I????Quote:Very useful. I like my fast boot times and no system slowdown when there's a lot of I/O operations going. I enjoy these perks, therefore I pay a premium.
The mere thought of me having to constantly remove and reinstall software gets me mad, the fact that I'm not supposed to do that makes me even madderQuote:You're not 'discussing'. You're like an enraged theist trying to force your ideas down someone's throat. 
I'm an athiest, by the way, which probably means we both agree on more important issues than solid-state longevity and hard drive allocation

i7monkey, I think you must be here for a fight?
I have just bought a 120GB SSD and i still have 40GB space left and i have been using it as my OS drive with all my programs on it and my most used stuff. (I do have a HDD for storage)
SSD's are always getting cheaper. Mine was £220 when i came out think (correct me if i'm wrong) and now its £165 at some places. So they are getting bigger, cheaper and even more faster then you can ever imagine. And HDD's can just randomly fail sometimes and you loose all of your data, with SSD's you don't run the risk of loosing anything as far as i know.
You don't have to do any tweaking to the SSD if you don't want to (ie lazy people like you), you can just plug it in and go. But windows wasn't optimized for SSD's so you have to tweak it to squeeze a little bit more from your SSD. Its not like its a 2 hour long thing, its more like a 10 to 30 minute thing.
But whats the point on spending £165 on something and not getting the best performance out of it.
Think of it this way. An SSD is the same as ram, or a memory stick.
And you don't see 200GB of RAM do you? or 200GB memory stick (well you might but at an insane price).
SSD's are going to be around forever now so stop your wining and arguing. SSD's will get bigger and faster, they will one day outlive HDD's and they will be no more.

I dont understand why anyone would come into a thread that someone spent alot of time putting together with the help of others for people who OWN or want to OWN an SSD just to complain and stir ***** up.
If you dont like it DONT LOOK. If you dont own or want to OWN one... then don't? But bring your box of kleenex and start a thread somewhere else about how bad you despise new hardware and spare people from having to read through 100+ pages of you getting all emo about something in a help guide for people who actually care.

Question about this:
Ramdisk & readyboost
First i would like to thank you for making this amazing guide helped alot with my netbook
This is seriously some good tricks specially if you look deeper into what everything does
BUT i am questioning about
Ramdisk and readyboost
I have 2 gigs new mushkin ram in my netbook eeepc its nice along with a 64 gig ssd from kingston 
already faster alot faster BUT
i would deffinitly like to make sure my ssd doesnt get owned by firefox
So basically if i set up ready disk say on my 16 GIG sdhc card and put a max of 4 GIG readyboost on that sdhc Will i be able to take the cache from firefox and dump it instead on the new virtual ram i created on the sdhc rather then on my mushkin internal ram or ssd ?

All that messing about with ram disks is pointless just do this tweak and send firefox cache to ram ie, your system ram, works a treat

Then there is this never tried so cant comment https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...uper-tab-mode/
Or this which deals more about ram disk, tried this but think it slowed my browsing speed up opposed to the first option I put which sped it up... http://downloadsquad.switched.com/20...isk-and-speed/

From what i read though
your only moving the cache to the ram not the actual firefox app folder to the ram
that is what i have been reading in alot of different sites and such along with the threads on here about it
so using ram disk for firefox and moving the folders to the ram instead of the ssd is alot better
but what about using virtual ram for ramdisk possible?
