OCZ SSD - Solid or Vertex?

[phinix]

I want to buy SSD for my gaming rig, but not sure which one to pick.
Looking at 32GB - Solid is cheaper and pretty fast I think. Vertex, not available yet, but is faster, also more expensive.
Is it worht to wait and buy Vertex? I just want to use it as a silent storage for XP and few games. No programs, just games and internet.
I believe that Solid after partiton alignment and all tweaks would be enough.. what do you guys think?

what do you mean prepared?

 

[phinix]

but those tweaks don't seem to be hard... right?

 

[phinix]

nice...

your obviously not prepared or have any knowledge on the current SSD's that are available. first thing you shoudl do is find out what an SSD is and how it will benefit you. if you knew your stuff you would not even have to ask this question and would have bought an SSD already, but seeing as you have to ask the question then clearly you need to take a step back and assess your own knowledge in hard drive tech and stick to regular drive until you learn more about SSD's in general.

i know i may sound harsh and blunt but im in a rush and hopefully my advice will save u lots of time money and headache.

obviously you sound harsh and obviously you don't know what knowledge I have... I just asked for experience of others with those Solid drives, real life experience...

I wish these VErtex show up next week, be never know...

i thought that most motherboards supported raid now

yes, but hose controllers don't have onboard cache. Separated raid cards have onboard cache - well, those more advanced (read: above 200 quid)...

If you check OCZ forum you will see that many users tried Raid 0 wth Solid and core v2 ssds on ICH9/10R and they all gained huge performance power. I say even a single Verte4x would be few times faster than your old Raptor...
