Should be good for a couple of years! Replacing an E6600 + nVidia 8800GTS 240MB + 4GB system.

Wondering how good the SSD drive will be over my existing 7200 SATA 2 unit?
 
Big improvement, and the difference between a SSD and Harddrive cant really be put into words, needs to be experienced first hand.
 
As mentioned, will be a gargantuan leap in terms of performance.
Only complaint is the headset choice :confused: -each to their own I suppose.
 
I upgraded to a ssd a few months back and never looked back :)

Regarding SSD, most people buy them for the OS boot drive.
I don't see the point, as boot time doesn't bother me, but seeing as the SSD will have more effect on boot times than on any other application it seems the most logical thing to use them for.

Ergo, pointless imo :p
 
Hi -- got the system and here it is:

Intel i7 950 Quad @ 4GHz
6GB 1600 RAM
nVidia 470 GTX 1280MB
Win 7 Pro 64
60GB SSD boot drive
500GB SATA 6 game folder drive

Tears through everything that's thrown at it. When using FRAPS and iracing, it records video at 60fps onto the separate HDD. Under my old system (E6600, 8800GTS 280MB) FRAPS could only manage 15fps when recording. All I can say is Wow!

SSD boot is great too. And thanks for the suggestion about the headphones change, I'm very pleased with it.
