SSD devices seem to be 11-21% slower on intel chipsets versus nvidia.

$1500 for an SSD that can do 100MB/sec.

For my desktop, I'll definatly be doing 2x Samsung SSD @ 67MB/sec for $1000

Well the price is kind of crazy.
But I just linked it for the apparent chipset difference. The intel chipset has some problem that keeps the drive from achieving maximum performance. I hope they can fix that with a driver update.

And here I am trying to get my sister to buy me a faster processor for
$Can 69.00.

Before I can call the price "crazy", I've got to call it "beyond belief"

What CPU do you want, paugie?

What CPU do you want, paugie?

There was this Toledo X2 3800 at tigerdirect.ca Skt-939

Do you need anything else for the system besides the CPU?

I really want to get a SSD for my boot drive, but the prices are just way too high right now. My Cheetah 36ES is getting really old. It probably isn't even faster than most new 7200RPM SATA drives for most applications any more.
