6.0 GB of ram installed (2.99 GB usable)

Having a hard time finding benches for that drive.

I'd probably get an 80gig X25-M G2 if anything.

I'd still like to try RAID. Something has to be said
for 1TB of redundant storage, no?

If RAID 5 doesn't go so well, I can always RAID 0
two of them, and w/e with the other.
 
Dude, i built a system with a SSD for a client. That system went from completely off, to completely usable desktop in 7 seconds. lol

Put the OS on the SSD (80GB is heaps), and install everything else on your raid.

The harddrive on PCs is by far the biggest bottleneck.

It is FAST. When I hit logon, windows just appears with everything loaded. And this computer with it's 2.5 processor isnt exactly the most powerful thing out there as far as processing goes.

you are talking about something that is RAM speed dependant. login from sleep etc is based on RAM availability and speed. Although the SSD will be beneficial, the amount of RAM you have is more of the speed you are talking about.

The SSD will however speed up application launch, OS boot time and shutdown, and gaming loading etc.
 
^well, initial logon is what i meant. that was a huge increase in speed. if your computer was in sleep mode, no it shouldn't matter. The initial boot before the windows logon screen is much faster too but I upgraded to windows 7 from vista at the same time so it's not as apples to apples as initial logon and loading the programs I have that run at startup.

Flash CS4 and MediaPortal are both big programs that also start much faster.
