Not for comparison just a review,specs and good info for tests done on the ssd installed in this build http://pro-clockers.com/storage/1992-ocz-agility-3-120gb-solid-state-drive.html?start=1
Ok Ok Ok,,,,, "......Not for comparison," Yea right, ,,, Don't rub it in ! When I built my box (around January '11) Crucial was the ONLY company selling SSDs with the SATA III 6Gb/s Interface (on Newegg). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148357
hahahaaa... that's great Seriously though, the Intel is my first choice. I wanted to take a shot at the ocz for the price and specs, but was well aware there are some issues with it. ( Sandforce controller issues leading to BSOD, and some other not so fun problems http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/22/ocz_vertex_flash_bsod/ ) It looks to be so far, as long as you update to firmware 2.09 it is fine.
After some research, I have decided to go with HDD, as it is better value for the money. The SSD would be a fraction faster, not enough to interfere with my trading, and surely not justifiable to pay for. In time it will get cheaper and maybe with some new technology, it may be worth buying it then. Only time will tell.
I think Boli is still buying and still long. The prices on eBay are higher than yesterday, despite SPY taking such a beating. Boli, did you get this stock tip from our buddy, Jimmy Cramer?
Memory: Checked! Got a decent price on the RAM after having done some thorough research. It's compatible with Intel and AMD. The price for 2 sticks: $64.99 (no tax, free shipping). <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3256915.png">
