Momentus XT 500GB Hybrid SSD

[Thor.]

Its still blazing fast with all my applications like steam and a few other application like anti virus. lol its so fast when it starts up i have trouble getting into the bios, the keyboard is slow lol. Needs a standard none usb keyboard for that.

 

Blasted super fast asus bios.:wallbash: :wallbash:

 

The only bottleneck i have now is my dvd drive, its pci. I need to go straight sata.:thumbsup:

 

Oh crysis i already had installed on my ssd and its loading about 3 to 4 secs faster, must be using the cache on the momentus xt.

 

Hmm strange??

Nothing really, just that my old pci dvd drive is bottlenecking my system, I'm going straight to "all" sata 2.

[hoofhearted4]

Installing games, running them off of dvd, the faster the the link the faster the install speeds.

 

You also notice it during gameplay, sometimes your cd drive can't keep up and it'll lag a bit to compensate for it.

 

It depends on your system specs though.

You got my attention. :thumbsup: Yes! That is a great deal, Now I just need to upgrade all the rest; MoBo, CPU, RAM, Cooling system, and Fast 3D Video card/s with a 1Terabite of memory and a 3D Capable 55 inch LED HDTV combo monitor set.

 

Yay! Thanks for the update.

You should see my new and improved benchmark in crysis, in 1080P AWESOOME it is.

 

I took a screenshot of it to. I'm impressed.

 

Its amazing what a single hd can do to your comp :thumbsup:

 

at times over 120fps. ultra high settings, no custom packs 16xq This is the Lowest fps.

That is some nice specs!

 

It is nice to see some of the stuff I was dreaming about is finally on the shelve's too. Blu-ray internal drives for one.

 

Second only to the APU that AMD is promoting that has the CPU quad core build with the GPU built right in with it. A 6 banger CPU/GPU. :dance: :dance: It must be like the day that the Model T Ford four stroke two cylinder engine was replace with a flat head 6 cyclinder engine. :dance: :dance:

Remember Crysis only uses 2cores out of any quad or six core cpu. Edited July 9, 2011 by Thor.
