Which 128gb SSD for sata 2 (intel socket 775)?

twistedheat · 27 Sep 2012 at 16:27

Only use my PC for general/surfing with the odd low graphics games (Europa universalis 3, football manager etc), it is 5 years old running a q6600 on an Asus p5k motherboard.

Would just like to breathe a new lease of life into it, so which 128gb SSD will best suit my needs?

after looking through all the drives if your not planning on upgrading to sata3 i think this is your best choice/£

the sandisk extreme 120gb

the crucial v4 doesnt offer great speeds compared to the above drive

Sorry OC's don't sell this model it's from another online etailer, plus it has gone up too £64.98 Inc Delivery

.
However for £2 more it's well worth it as it's a great SSD from what I have been reading.
