a new technology can't possibly be better than the one I have, and I can't afford it. MUST BE HYPE !!!
I'm thinking about getting a SSD myself. My gaymin laptop is pretty fast, but sometimes it takes a while to get going after a cold boot and applications load a little more slowly than I'd like them to.
Would a SSD alleviate those problems? Would it have a noticeable impact on battery life?

Yes, and SSDs use less power than HDDs so you'd notice an increase in battery life if anything.

It's only good for games (loading textures and levels and shit) and if you use Windows (bloated OS).
Just get a small one and install your games on it.
>>45230355
it offloads network traffic from your cpu and has inbuilt traffic shaping which is great for multipurpose activities, mainly gaming with a good ping while downloading stuff so it ain't that of a bad idea but many "gaming" mainboards have a "killer" chip onboard
>>45230167

those realtek ethernet drivers you might talk about , still tend to offload stuff on the cpu, even if it is just very minor.. but this is not the overall advantage we're talking about this chip
>>45230108
I haven't noticed a whole lot of difference with SSDs.
I got one just not to worry about HDDs failing on my laptop when it gets bounced around.
yeah OP, Intel SSD's are trash, Sandisk and Crucial make much better SSD's~
>>45230724
>using safety razors instead of disposable walmart razors
I don't use a safety razor, but the difference is glaring.
>duel monitors for more productivity
I agree with that, dual monitors just give me more potential to fuck around instead of working.
>overclocking makes your pc faster
It used to, but nowadays overclocking is mostly pointless unless you really need the performance for something intensive.
>linux is safer than windows
It is, but mostly just because of market share.
>>45230724

>Placebo
Why do so many idiots fall for this obvious bait?
Will an SSD make my Windows experience "snappier" or will it just improve load times for programs? I'm making a new 4670k build and I'm thinking of grabbing an SSD as well.
>>45232971
Nah it won't make any difference. It's extremely exaggerated by /g/tards.
>>45233032
It will boost your boot times by quite a bit and tend to reduce lag upon program launch, though the boot time reduction is the only "for sure" effect of the SSD.
>>45232971
For a new build you might as well get one. Its nice that PS starts in 2 secs instead of 6 secs but thats almost all there is to it compared to a 7k rpm HDD
>>45230108
Just ask your mom for your allowance in advance. :^)
>>45233082
the effect of an SSD on programs and programs load times is noticeable with large programs, Office, Adobe stuff, Cad/Modeling software etc
>>45232872
Because Poe's law is a bitch.
>>45232971
It will just make Windows better all around. Everything will be smoother and more fluid, not just program boot. Alt+tab will be faster, switching between tabs in your browser of choice will be faster, opening up settings in Windows will be faster, literaly everything will be faster. Not just program boot and computer boot.
>>45230192
I'll take the b8.
Bought 160gb ssd just to try with os and some programs, werked better than I thought it would, so I got a 250 gb for my audio sample and vst library. Holy fuck, I can never go back, now.

Daily reminder computer bus is bottleneck for your SSD, SSD have same speed as 7200/10000/10025/10500RPM and little lower than 15000RPM HDD (but HDD had lowed price 15k 146gb ~26$) than connect as SATA1/2/3.
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/internal-hard-drive/#t=0,10000,10025,10500,15000&sort=a6

It only actually helps on bloated Windows. GNU/Linux boots fast even on the slowest of hard drives.
>>45234461
This pretty much, although there are certain variables.
Any SSD will pretty much rejuvenate any PC in the last 10 years, but to really reap the benefits it can't be running on a single core Celeron using fucking SATA I and expect a tremendous improvement, it'll be a big one, sure, but that's usually because the hard drive on those components was slow as shit and probably dying anyway, so anything would make it better.
It's always much better to just go with a medium-tier overclockable CPU and get an SSD (like the G3258), than going i7-3770k or whatever's the hottest new thing right now and still run a hard drive.
Also OCing helps tremendously.

I can't really help you, man.
My setup is a modified Logitech Z-2300, from which I replaced the speakers with a pair of Cabasse Antiguas, using custom-soldered RCA to bare wire copper cables.
I'm playing all my music from my PC through the jack output of the X-Fi Titanium sound card in there. That sound card has an amplified DAC, and combined with the power provided by the Z-2300 kit, I don't need any external amp.
Windows volume @ ~25% + Z-2300 at a quarter of available power is loud enough.

Any of the Firefox forks besides Pale Moon and Mozilla is a better corps of developers than the sperglords behind Pale Moon anyway

No, it's not sped up.

Actually multi blade razors from Gillete and Schick clog up really fast because I have thick facial hair and they made shaving a painful experience for me, for someone with my type of facial hair saftey razors have made shaving a much less painful experience.
They're cheaper too.
>>45240737
Can be fixed, it doesn't show up for me anymore.
>>45230108
SSD's are much better for laptops, they consume less power and arent ruined by movement
SSDs are great. I'm at my Xubuntu desktop in less than 5 seconds from when I hit my power button (cold boot).
>>45240560
Not sped up m8. Turn your mouse speed up.

Not placebo.
When I use my external hard drives and safely eject them, it actually parks the head and turn the shit off.

Any 15K RPM drive that I've ever seen or owned has been:
A - SCSI
B - FCAL (Fiber Chanel)
C - SAS
I have yet to see a 15K SATA drive...

You don't know how SAS works, do you?

internal sound cards are the biggest placebo of all time unless you have a 10 year old mobo that doesn't into 5.1 channel surround sound. Most recent ones have 8 channel.
external recording interfaces are a bit different

I know this is massive b8 but none the less I will have to say moving a game from hdd to sdd doubled my fps at 1080p for many games meaning my mid-tier laptop plays 60fps in modern games beyond it's scope.
Difficult to believe that's the placebo effect.

OP must be super buttmad that I only use SSD in my system.
people need to stop posting in these threads, or responding to trolls...
placebo means something that is said to have an effect, when in reality, it doesnt do anything at all

Jesus christ, could you shill any harder?
>>45245297
No... that's not it at all...
That's snake oil.
Placebo is something that ends up having an effect because the user believes that it has an effect.
if people don't believe in ssd performance, why don't they just spend the $40 to get a small capacity one and see what they're like?
you can afford $40, can't you?

Jesus Christ, I hate heatsinks like that, they're look so fucking retarded. Why does it have to have those retarded spikes on top?
Why the fuck is this thread still alive?
>>45245536
More surface area to dissipate heat. Do you not understand the purpose of a heatsink in general? I'll admit that those are excessive, but it still serves the same purpose.
>>45245536
larger surface area for better cooling
>>45245590
>>45245645
But, are heatsinks actually neccesary? I have [spoiler]DDR2[/spoiler] Ram on this shitrig, and it doesn't have any heatskins. It's just the RAM.
>>45245675
next time your machine has been in use for awhile, shut it down and touch the heatsinks with your finger. They do get surprisingly warm.
>>45245777
Sorry, I misread your post. Ram does get warm
>>45232971
If you're using Windows 7, there's already a service called SuperFetch, that takes files you access frequently, and loads them into RAM for a more responsive experience. Assuming you already have this enabled, you shouldn't see much performance gains at all for general purpose things. Now, SSDs do still have faster read/write speeds, and a way faster access time, but Microsoft has already done a pretty good job with their modern OSs when it comes to improving performance for those with mechanical drives.
>>45245391
you do realise that "ssd" is not a brand name, don't you? It literally stands for solid state drive. There's no brand affiliation, there
>>45245590
>>45245645
To what end?
Generic heatsinkless RAM = best RAM
>>45245675
No they're not. Yes it gets warm, but it doesn't affect anything like the lifespan or CPU overclocks. If anything, bigger heatsinks would make the heat spread more to other components, but that's pretty negligible anyway.
