Final decisions for new system

I didn't have any problems installing my Crucial SSD. It was detected by the BIOS and Windows recognised it as it would any other SATA hard drive. All you do is set the order for the drives in the BIOS so that your SSD is the boot device and away you go... it'll act exactly as if it was a hard drive, only it'll be much, much faster. You shouldn't have to assign drive letters as the default boot drive is always C: as far as I know.
 
Aye, the intel specs may appear to be worse, but in reality it is almost always better - thanks to a superior controller.

Here is a review (and another), in pretty much everything except sequential reads (not the main usage of an SSD) it is awesome.
 
ok I'll take your word for it, my list has now officially been changed.
I have added the Intel x-25 160gb as my OS drive and a pair of Samsung F-3 1TB drives ... I will NEVER run out of space again hahahahaha :)
 
ask OCuk to use that memory you want instead of those corsiar chips I m sure they would help you out ;)
