Lose a lot of the benefit surely if the temp and pagefile isn't on it.
This week in the states, couple weeks over here.
http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9292&Itemid=1, seems like they have some more extreme versions coming
Those elseware shouldn't effect it too much, don't think using SSD for temp/working is such a good idea due to the number of writes. Things like net folder can be on a HD.

these looks very nice, i'm sure early next year when intel release their high-end ssd's there will be more high-end competition at a lower price as ocz core v2 is a lot slower than these.
Lets just hope MS make a generic ssd driver so that all works better, some things switched off by default like system indexing as there is no spin up time needed on an ssd, i'm sure they will tweak default block sizes and things too.

Mtron are releasing 260MB read 240MB write SLC based drives early next year.
Those R/W speeds are making SSD`s usefull for more than an OS now, Intel will surely have to drop prices a lot when Mtron release those aswell.

You did read the reviews right?
You should apply for a job at Intel fella. It sounds like they could use your unique insight into NCQ with SSD's 
No brilliant move by Intel!
Intel are a major player and they will get the SSD market moving. Regardless if you buy Intels SSD or not, this will force the other manufacturers to up their game and lower prices. Competition from a major player always benefits the consumer.
Yes i did read the review, and obviously got a bit more than you didYou did read the reviews right?
Your stupid comment was obviously aimed at the people saying that the current NCQ is completely useless for SSDs, which they are. The current system queues up commands based on file positions on the platters. I have no idea how the new system for SSD works but obviously it queues it up in another way, as there are no longer platters to account for.

...I have no idea how the new system for SSD works but obviously it queues it up in another way, as there are no longer platters to account for.
Well then this might help
In other words, your quote completely proves my point by describing a new system designed for SSDs that does something significantly different what current HD NCQ does. So are you just ignoring the facts on purpose?
Not at all
1) I'm not actually arguing with you, but if it makes you feel better then assume I am
2) What was your point exactly?
3) My opening post had nothing much to do with what you came up with later which was
...We, being you.
I assumed no such thing as to how they worked and never compared them to their HD implementation. You just assumed that was my viewpoint when actually I'm fully aware NCQ can be implemented in a number of ways
Hence my opening post poking fun at all those who say it's pointless. Now we have a SSD that has a useful implementation of NCQ.

Exactly the point, everyone who has said that it is completely useless so far have been completely right - the NCQ that we all know and have read descriptions of is designed for mechanical harddrives. The fact that Intel uses the same word for a new technology really isn't that logical.
Edit: Let's drop this though, i really appreciate you posting reviews and i'm really looking forward to these things, that must be the most important point

OcUK Please get some of these on order and get them in!
You could always add them as pre-order also...

Looks god - would like one as a boot drive and move my Veloci to a dedicated gaming drive 
Looks interesting, however the day computer cases come with SSD bays by default, with click and swap... that's when I'll be getting some.
Don't get me wrong though, SSD is, or will be fantastic and should finally bring up read/write speeds and make your PC seem much faster, by this I mean we upgrade year after year but HDDs remain relatively the same. Hopefully SSD will change that eventually!
