[QUOTE="mmmalas, post: 843136, member: 118823"] you had replied to my post so its only fair that I share my experiance with you. SSD will speed u starting of OS and applications, the main thing isaccess time (low reads eg 4k). as for burst rates, those are rarely usefull as unless you are copying from SSD to another. I just say 4GB laptop RAM going for £10 a while ago on hukd. as for RAM drive, I use dataram, the free version allows up to 4GB of ram drive. benchmark wise, it MAXED all benchmarks far far much faster than SSD, ie 6GB/s read \ write, ofcourse this is limited by the software emulation. access time is even faster than SSD. if you getting an SSD, get something like sand force, which does compression, ie if you fill it up, it would not physicly fill it up, as data is stored compressed, this is very handy as it gives the SSD space to shift data around for maximum life.
