You're welcome mate. I''ve just found out how to change the cache location for firefox too lol.
For firefox 3 it's not too easy but I've worked it out.
Screw it, ordered a second.
Might as well do it properly and not by halves
Yep..I've ordered 2 as well
Thanks for the guide - it is helpful. I checked the ideas behing those tweaks cos that's what I do lol. On that point I wouldn't disable superfetch if I were you. There's nothing faster than ram. I've seen this discussed on other forums and this is a bit of a misnomer.

I think the reason to turn off superfetch was due to stuttering with some brands of SSD's. If you get no stutter problems then leave it off. There is no doubt that RAM is faster.
C'mon ...share you knowledgeYou're welcome mate. I''ve just found out how to change the cache location for firefox too lol.

I'm willing to learn 
would you say its better to put them to a RAMdisk or just to another HD ?
If you're look for speed then RAMdisk. Being able to read/write to the cache folder quickly will make browsing feel snappier.
I'm highly sceptical about this, I must say - does it really make a noticeable difference?
ill let you know shortly, but tbh, its quite rapid at the moment so i think i would be hard pushed to see a difference
i just want to limit my SSD read/writes
Yeah I tried that but doesn't work with firefox 3. If you guys want the link I can post it for '3'.
Unfortunately posting on iPhone so can't paste the link. Will do when home.
Ie is different and imo a lot easier. Will post links.

That's the link for firefox 3
Find your profile folder.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder
You have to create a user.js file, open a text editor such as Notepad and save the empty file as "user.js" inside your profile folder.
Template is:
// Relocate parent directory for browser cache
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", "D:\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\");
And where d mozzila firefox put your own directory in there.
I hope that's clear .
So then you'll have the browser cache that saves onto hdd not onto the sdd.
Hope that works.
