I see Peaches a lot...

The closest you could get would be to put a really, really big page file on it. Other than that, no.

Well, maybe one thing hasn't been said. SSDs are far more shock-resistant than regular HDDs (because they have no moving parts), which makes them better for mobile usage in terms of reliability.

Can you say SLOW!

^Exactly what I was too lazy to write out I'm satisfied with the boot time of my desktop, and it's boot drive is a 7200 rpm WD Caviar Green. However, the boot time of my laptop was brutal, being well into 2 minutes (5400 rpm WD Blue laptop drive). I put the SSD in it for exactly this reason. Now, the laptop's cold boot is maybe 20 seconds, probably less. I also needed the extra speed, because I use it in school, and when I need to write something down, I don't have time to wait 4 minutes to be able too.

Overclocking, except a method that actually works (all the ones I've found are BS)

I would, but not noob stuff, cause its all over the internet. I'm talking tutorials for more advanced stuff.

Shitty Quality, because I don't want to spend all day uploading the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2lLFKu985k

I'm with Koodo. I don't have a data plan

Yes, yes it is

I'll upload a video when I get home today that I took last night, I set down a bunch of nukes on the surface, and set them off. I had a cavern going all the way down to bedrock

So I was playing minecraft, and I was using a mod I just installed, that adds weapons and such to the game (like guns etc). So anyways, I was doing some rocket mining (shooting my rocket launcher repeatedly into a cave for a while), and I came across another cave. For anyone who hasn't ever played minecraft before, finding caves is usually bad. Very bad. So, instead of plugging the hole and moving on, I cheated just a little, got myself lots of Nukes, and set them all. When all was said and done there were close to 600 nukes set. In one cave. Nukes are part of this mod I got, and the author says "they have about 5x the power of TNT". So that was like me placing 3,000+ TNT. Keep in mind, this cave was about 3-4 blocks tall, and about 3 blocks wide. I blew the 600 nukes, and after the lag fest finished and the game calculated the damage, I went to where the cave used to be, and took a screenshot. http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/4052/usedtobeacave.png A bunch of you are probably like: "cool story bro", most of the rest of you are like: "k whatever" And then theres like 3-4 of you guys who actually know wtf I'm talking about.

lmao, don't even talk about slow internet. I'm the only one on at my place, I'm downloading a java update and its rockin a speedy 2.6 kb/s Yes, thats worse than dial up. And I have nothing else open, but this page. Sadface.

When you start a program, much of it is loaded into the RAM. So unless the HDD you're using for storage is extremely, extremely slow (worse than a 5400rpm laptop drive ) then I won't make much of a difference, except for the initial loading.

Crysis and Split/Second don't need to be on an SSD.. I play both fine stored on a regular HDD. There are few games that actually benefit from being on an SSD, usually those that have a lot of large, large files to load. GTA IV is a good example. Don't load it up too much, you want free space. The more free space you have usually means the faster the drive (For both SSDs and HDDs)

O_o, I guess I should read more thoroughly next time

I'm a donor on xsellize Anyways, you can also enable multitasking when you jailbreak if you use RedSn0w.

Check this one out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211487 It's specs look good, and the reviews are 4-5 eggs. One guy said that after installing Windows 7, he had 22.9 Gigabytes free. Again, this drive is only 40gb, so you will be loading windows and a couple of essential programs, and thats it. Again, its all about what you're willing to pay.

Well... Lets put it this way, I'll fix the hardware issues, then you make it a hackintosh

lmao! We could start a business, I could fix the PCs and you could fix the Macs!

I wish you didn't live in the UK, but somewhere closer to me

Exactly what I said Also, the only reason I put the SSD in my laptop was because it has two hard drive bays. Currently my laptop has the 60gb SSD and a 640gb WD in it. And, its not even close to 3x the price Edit: Just checked newegg, the price for a 7200 rpm HDD is around $75.. The price for my SSD is currently $125 You could clone the drive, but it would be a lot of work. It may also not boot correctly. Your best bet would be to install a clean copy of windows 7 onto the new HDD, then re-install your programs (or you could copy over the files directly and import the registry)

Thats not very fast, when you convert it (Megabits converted to Megabytes.) (36.62109375 MB/s) If you can, buy an SSD. They are the most dramatic speed boost I have ever seen. I put mine in my laptop, boots in seconds. But, if you cannot afford a SSD, check what's running on startup. I can help you out with this over TV, if you would like. Edit: I know you said they are way to expensive, but trust me. And for size, I have a 60GB OCZ. I put Windows 7, Openoffice and a few more core programs on there, and still have close to half of the space free.
