Hi,
As I said above,

Q1, which Version of W7? Ultimate?

Q2, I have a Rampage extreme 2 Mobo, Do I need a card to get the best out of SSD?

Q3, which SSD is best?


Currently running Vista 64. with a WD Raptor

Thanks in Advance
 
Any version of Windows 7 will work fine with SSD's. You only need Ultimate if you need the extra features it provides.

What is your budget for a new SSD?
 
Have not really got a budget, 250 maybe, I'll pay more if there is a real good one out there that is worth the extra.

as for w7, I use my pc for gaming/ internet/ networking, but want good security too

thanks for quick reply

Home premium will be fine.

Q2, I have a Rampage extreme 2 Mobo, Do I need a card to get the best out of SSD?

Not really unless you want to add a SATA III card and get a Crucial C300.

Q3, which SSD is best?

Down to personal preference really. The OCZ Vertex are a popular choice and well worth a look.
 
In that case you don't need Ultimate, Premium will be more than enough.

As for SSD have a look at Vertex and Intel drives.
 
So what does eveyone think of the OCZ RevoDrive arnt they ment to be great

I dont have one i have a corsair force ssd i love. I just wonder why people forget about these are they THAT BAD or somthing? Expensive though

Think the Revodrive's can suffer from compatibility issues and they cost a little too much for my liking. If you already have a SSD why are you asking which is the best? :D
 
ok so was thinking of this combo?
Intel 510 Series "Elmcrest" 120GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive with FREE Shogun 2 Game [SSDSC2MH120A2K5]

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599) [GFC-00599]

302 quid.......anyone think this is ok? or anyone for any more thoughts.

Thanks a bunch for quick replies guys :)

oh btw anyone seen this error b4.

I came back from holiday to it, and googling the forums is'nt helping

This Assembly is protected by an unregistered copy of Eziriz's ".Net Reactor"

it pops up about every 5 seconds, driving me crazy, tried CCleaner etc.

One of the reasons I'm going to jump to W7, I have been thinking about it for some time,
and it's giving me the push.

cheers

Your board doesn't have SATA III so unless your going to buy a PCIe SATA III card then it might be overkill, however it will still work fine as it's backwards compatible.
