or its just the crappy 700mhz p3 acting up cuz i left it on without restart for 3 days

SSDs from what i read from wikipedia have lower writing speeds and consume more power, thus if u have an SSD for ur laptop, expect ur battery to run out of power faster then a normal HDD installed.

bold part worries me.

i ain'tworried about power.. 1kw baby!

and naga... even if i ordered now, i can't use it for a week or so anyway

 

[wafflehammer]

more power? i don't think so:| from what i read they use less..and it makes sense, no moving parts...

but yea, they do have slower write times. if i was to get one it would be a cheap/small one just for OS

 

[NosBoost300]

thats exactly what i wanna do, a 30gb for vista, another 30gb for xp.. and maybe another 30gb for my favorite games

their write speeds are in a sense irrelevant if you use it as an OS disc. they read what, like 2x as fast as a regular drive? read read read.
nos hurry the frig up already.

[Nagasama]
