Finnaly a test driven article about claims I have been making for the last 6 months regarding SSD upgrades.
Keep up the good work.
I guess the results might be stretched for even older / less powerful systems - I might notice more of a benefit from upgrading my old dual core 3800+, if only it had been socket AM2 I would have done (although in most cases it seems to hold up quite reasonably). I suppose there's no reasonable way that the tests could have covered quite such a spread of hardware.
Me thinks that would be DX 10.....
^ I concure
Decent article, I have an SSD beside me right now for tomorrow's job....
I was thinking about a 'platform' upgrade as well, but it'll be the video card first!
