"A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
This is from the TechPowerUp website:
"Corsair is one of the innovation leaders in the memory and power supply market. They also provide SSDs which, so far, have been mostly based on the Sandforce flash controllers. Now they are offering an SSD based on Marvell's 88SS9174 controller, which promises best-in-class performance that can compete with what Sandforce offers."
I suppose I am curious as to why you would need two, as one seems more than powerful enough:)
I actually do have a real life, I just don't remember what the password to it is...
Also, to be fair, when I posted that I had trouble reading what you posted. It does kinda makes sense now. :P

I agree completely. Not to take away anything from you, Aintdah...as I have no idea what kind of pc this will go into, or if you already have duel GPU's cross-fired (a more sensible investment if you have extra cash:) but I suppose I look at it like a total package. For example it makes no sense to buy three monitors just because you can if you do not upgrade your GPU's to compensate. Cart before the horse, thing..heh
Post back with your specs, man. I am curious now. I am thinking this is no way for your M18...there is really quite a few other items you could update there besides an SSD.

I do have an ssd system drive in my desktop with raided velociraptors for programs, it does boot beautifully fast. I put a hybrid 750 gig in my laptop, it running same 64bit ultimate loads just as fast as the desktop and I have 750 gig to put movies and do editing, keep libraries on, I would not want to store things even temerary on an SSD, you really need to keep them clean. I would not give up my hybrid 750 for a SSD in my laptop at this point in time for anything.
