I know this cool guy named Matt2 who is doing it.... One of those things I've always wanted and I assume it will make the laptop faster and more fun to use. Windows will be much much faster on boot up and some apps will really love it. I was more asking if you had some 2tb platter or something already lol. I figured it was for SSD but I didn't want to assume. The one thing I know is that the room mates machine was definately bound by HDD for games and it is now quick on his machine since he moved to SSD. I cannot wait to see how fast it will be striped I also know when I sleep he will be molestering my system. He may be more excited to build this rig than I am to have it be mine. I didn't go balls to the walls on processor or mobo but I think it will still be nice. I also hope the 660s in SLI will out perform a single similar priced 680. Having 3GB of memory/card will probably be the winner for 3 screens over 4GB on one card. And I dont think the 4gb 680 is as cheep as 2 660's. If the i5 is the limiting factor I will just OC the fuck out of it. I could go through 4-5 sets of MOBO and i5s for the cost of an i7..... especially if I would have gone with the 2011 socket. Hyperthreaded 6 core so 12 logic cores would be cool..... but it would not have real PCI express 3 and almost no real games or apps care about that many logic cores..... Aaron would like it on the boinc team but dats about it. And the next gen processors and MoBO will probably catch up with PCI express3. Even with ivy bridge it is a questionable work in process. My laptop boot speed changes by about 1-2 seconds switching to an SSD. If I could have I would have bought it with a normal HDD, but that one came with a shittier screen. My home pc difference was somewhat similar. Faster yes, but not really noticeable.

Really I just need a different job and then I'll get a new pc,

Of course if I do that it'd probably be cheaper to build a desktop than to fix my laptop. lol

My problem is that I NEED a docking station. I don't trust the aftermarket ones yet and love just setting the pc down. Really narrows down the list. Thought about getting my Lenovo fixed and then using it only at home. Buying something else for when I travel. Be more of a synchronization bitch but in some regards it'd be healthy as it would promote the right backing up routines.

Might be worth it but not super special. I really don't like HP though. Lenovo and Asus are about the only brands I "trust" in the laptop world. As far as reasonable priced. I used to be an IBM/Lenovo but my last one has been a dog. Into service twice and now the fan is shot and so is the screen. Power supply cable wore out today too, but I managed to snag one from the hotel

No it is super easy. She used spoons though. Slooooooooow method. Hey, we live in MN those are dumplings!

Not taking anything away from your mom, just saying if that brings back memories the cure is quick. Need a spaetzle dropper. I think mine was $4 from Amazon

Spaetzle is eeeeeeeeeeasy to make

or I forgot, but it's necessary

And if I left garlic off above that is because it is implied...

Gnocchi is sort of a bitch to make. You fumble 3x and then you have the OH SHIT and it works.

She wouldn't be butt ugly if she didn't put makeup on with a putty knife and bleach her hair with chlorox. For fuck sakes bitch, class isn't that hard to figure out.

It's made me puke before, but not really headachy

The only generic italian you can follow without cringing periodically would be batali if it has to be online. As for the lamb that depends on what you hanker for. I like mine cubed and rolled in olive oil, rosemary and salt. Few minutes on the grill and fucking yummy.

Why are you so sold on replacing the drive?

SSD is faster and uses less power since it has no moving parts. And can't store shit. Only use for SSD in a pc to me is for a boot drive and even then I am not 100% sold. Im sold for gaming and OS. And that is the only reason for me. And I don't game so we are the same

Do you want to play ANY games? I would never go without an optical drive..... but if you have a desktop, then maybe you can network those as a pretend optical. What are the HDs on them? I like SSD if you are not going to store a lot of media. More than a GFX card or ram it will speed up your OS and apps. In the past year I haven't used my optical drive once. Every laptop my wife has had or roommate has had has pooped and needed to disk boot at peasantry once. Just my experience though. Ah, save an image to a usb stick

How long ago was that? About the time DFI started to kick ass. It ONLY has an affect on their MOBO's.

I was bigger fan of theirs before Oscar Wu left
