ROFL. I'm sorry, but it can never be as fast as a SSD. Not even close. Even with RAID...

Actually it would. When this computer was built a fast drive setup in RAID 0 would actually mimic the speeds of an SSD, but not the latency. 2 years ago we didn't have SATA3 SSDs with speeds in the 500s like we do today.

Speeds, yes, latency, no.

 

[MindoverMaster]

Latency, that was the word. But yeah, truth.

Not really. You should have all the other components already.

You already have the other components and just want to replace the CPU and motherboard.

I'd doubt it. I'd say half that.
