And does it make a huge difference? I just build my computer not too long ago and I'm already thinking of upgrading and I'm just wondering about SSD's.
Also, would 16gb of ram be too much? I'm currently using 8gb G.skill ripjaw

Who here uses a SSD?

My win7 (now ubuntu) server runs on SSD for os and SATA for storage and yes it makes a huge difference. Overall system responsiveness will be much faster: your programs will load in a fraction of the time, finish tasks faster. The IO is just ridic (click the spoiler tag in my sig). As for RAM, never had that much so idk.
I'm planning on building a comp in the spring to play Diablo 3
and there is no doubt about using SSD.

Thats ridiculous. You must have a good internet provider with that. Is your OS just on your SSD? or do you have programs on it too?

Yeah I only put programs on it. Media and everything else goes on SATA.

Sounds like a plan then. I'll definitely pick one up (especially before old republic =])

Yeah you definitely don't want to store any actual important data on SSD. It should only contain your OS and programs. As for speeddddddddd well you will see a substancial difference in reading/writing speeds but bear in mind that the flash blocks have limited writing cycles so after a while your SSD can reach the writing quota and totally just die. Well not really die, but become slower and less efficient. Also, when an SSD dies there is no way to retrieve the info so I'd keep it to OS and programs only since usually you only need to read those.

Is your RAM 1600, 1833?
What are its timings?
4x4 isn't even needed unless you're doing heavy graphical editing or such. You'll lose OCability on your RAM if you go 4x4 as well

It should take a few years to run out of cycles though so as long as you're not intending to keep your computer for like 20 years you should be fine.

Yessir. I like those new SSD that run through PCI. Although those cost about 6 grand, at least for a nice one ha

I saw a video of one of those streaming something like 250 full HD movies and hosting 6 servers at the same time at some convention. I just tried to find the video online but for the life of me I can't find it.
