I just upgraded my 64gb G.Skill Flacon up to a 128gb Crucial M4. It's the highest scoring device on Windows Experience Index. The Falcon is going back into my netbook. If you have a laptop and want to extend battery life and improve performance, slap an SSD into that bad boy. YOu will not be disappointed. Ever.

The problem is that he is using GFWL. That piece of shit should have been shoved back up Bill Gate's ass where it belongs.

WiZiD Also XRay had mentioned something about picking a drive thst has trim software available. Helps them last longer??? Also makes them faster I believe. TRIM makes the SSD clean out all of the old data so write times are faster. When you delete a file, it's not really deleted, on any drive. When you delete a drive, you're actually telling the controller that those sectors are now available for data. When new data is ready to be written to a drive, the controller puts that data into the sectors. On a platter drive, the head can simply write the data directly to the platter. On an SSD, the data in that sector needs to be removed before new data is written. This makes write times slow down. TRIM goes through and removes the data in the sectors marked for deletion, so when new data is sent to those sectors, it can be directly written. The drive doesn't have to remove the old data first. This keeps write times up.

Merlin007 Haven't read a lot about ssd drives but since you mention it, why don't you defrag a ssd drive? Does this have anything to do about ssd drives reading and writing to the same areas of the chips thus shortening their lives by doing so? SSD's don't require a defrag because of the way they store data. On a classic platter drive, a fragmented file is located in multiple places on the disk. This means that the head needs to move in order to read an entire file. This causes slowdowns, because the head takes time to move into position. With an SSD, all data is instantly available, so moving between sections of the SSD is instantaneous. And as a proud owner of an SSD, all I can say is that I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! It's the best upgrade you could ever do to a computer. 10 second boot? Hell ya. Instant file/application access? Hell ya. I'm getting another one very soon so I can take the one in my desktop and put it into my laptop. I used to have the SSD in my netbook, and it felt like I was on my desktop. Everything was snappy and responsive. Going back to the 5400 OEM platter drive was like going from a 'Vette to a Prius. Plus, the batter life went from 10+ hours down to 5 hours. The hard drive consumes more power than every other device (aside from the screen) on virtually all laptops (high end laptops are the exception). Trust me on this. Get a quality SSD (Intel, OCZ, G.Skill, etc) and you will never, ever regret it.

I prefer the Apocolyptica version of Nothing Else Matters, but still a great song, either way. And your sig gives me nightmares.

That kind of shit warms a special place in the icy black pit I call a heart. Congrats on the new gear.

Congrats on the new noise makers. There's tons of paper plates and soda cans that have absolutely no regard for the law and need to be taken out. (and just to cover my ass, I'm quite the pro-gun person).

If I ever get into the tour (working towards it), I will be sure to have a big >XI< splattered on my jersey.

kswift420 I will spank both those assesssssss.... with a crowbar. Naw......I think a ping pong paddle would be better.

You guys are making my willy hurt.

Best out of the 3? That's quite the statement. The second one sucked majorly, but I completely enjoyed the first one. Greatest movie score EVER came out of that movie. Lots of action, good gooberment conspiracy, everything that makes a movie great.

I wish I had been allowed to have a video camera when I was working as a lift op at a ski resort. I worked Saturday and Sunday nights, and we would ALWAYS get a buttload of shit-face drunk skiers and boarders, and they were funny as hell to watch come down the slopes. I remember seeing one take out the whole line of fencing that was blocking off my chair lift load area. Slammed the stop button, raced over, dug him out from under the fencing, only to have him tell me that I look like a sexy 18 year old and that he wanted to bang me. I'm 6'4", 200lbs, and have never been mistaken for a girl.

AmboyDuke Grab These.... I think my soul just threw up. On a side note, I'm pretty sure that I will never have to worry about wasting titties. I will never get them, nor do I desire them. And no, I'm not gay, either. Asexual, FTMFW!!!!

I haven't gotten Modern Warfail 2 or Crap Ops. Hell, I haven't even PIRATED them because they're not worth the wait for them to download. If Activision ever wants to get their shit together (which they won't, the greedy bastards), they will include: 1) nice length single player, like the original Modern Warfare. 2) COMPLETE CONTROL over servers, like in Modern Warfare. 3) Mod tools, like in Modern Warfare. The code is still there. It's disabled due to Activision just wanting to drive their shit up our asses.

Holy hell that's a shit ton of energy.

Yeah, that is true. I suck at life. I'm just a terrible human being.

March Madness? That's football, right? Can I get the Cleveland Indians?

We've got a John Deere 420 (bought used 15 years ago) and that has got to be the most reliable tractor ever. That poor, poor tractor. From mowing the lawn in 100+ to snowblowing the driveway at -10, it just works. And when it does break, repairing it is a snap. John Deere FTMFW!!!

I absolutely DESPISE games that require another piece of software to run. If I guy the hard copy, I expect to be able to install that copy on my computer without ever having to connect to the internet, without having to install some other shit. Just install and run. Why can't we have that?

Slightly thin on sources, but I'll bet my right nut that the shit is going to hit the fan in 2012. And no, not because of the Mayan Calendar running out, just because this whole "left vs right" is going to fracture even further this year, and blow up sometime early next year. Time to get an AR-15 and load up with ammo. Also fortify the house.

Have you ever heard of an angry pot head?

And both are gone. Thanks for looking everyone.

Marksman My babies the one ya want Nvidea 580GTX it rocks all other's. Lol Way to take a dump on my thread. For the games at us Idiots play, the 9800GT is still a quite powerful card. Even for Black Ops. Seeing as that the past 4 CoD games have used the same game engine. Anyways, I'm dropping the price down to $60 for one card.

Renegade45 hmmm how would those match up to my dual 5800HD Radeons Depends on what 58xx you have. 2 9800GT's in SLI are probably the equivilent of a 5770, minus the DX11. You'd probably be better off with your 58xx cards.

I believe you meant to say "Modern WarFAIL", not "Warfare".
