And why are you mixing analogue film together with digital film? That's quite retarded.
And yes I know how monitors split the image in two parts. Half the horizontal lines showing half of the image and the other half showing the other half and then being shown as if it was one.[/QUOTE]
Would you just swallow your pride and accept that you were wrong?
[QUOTE=garrynohome;29001609]You can't do both. The articles are fact and they deny what you've been saying. Are you trying to tell us you refuse to accept fact because of your own ridiculous beliefs?
and no that isn't a joke about religious people[/QUOTE]
I don't see where in the article I'm directly proven wrong.
For the third time I'm not saying that you won't see the difference between 30 and 60FPS and I started right out with saying that you can't label the eye's FPS.

I have no pride so it would be hard to swallow.
The new Linux Kernel boots like an SSD.
[QUOTE=GunFox;28989849]I had an SSD and swapped back to good hard drives. SSD's have fast access times, but last I checked, still can't match data transfer volumes.

Yep, 100 hours on counter strike, 152 hours on CoD 4, and 213 hours on MoW 2 multi.

SSDs outperform HDDs in every single way by the way
My CPU is a bottleneck, not my HDD.
He's right, I do love me some bar charts
From the bits and pieces I read are SSD's becoming viable over HDD's?
Unless you plan on having two hard drives, one for data and one for loading, don't get an SSD.
SSD's have a limited amount of writes but an unlimited amount of reads, so if you install windows on an SSD (and maybe your most used programs) and everything else on an HDD (with windows set to cache everything on the HDD) the SSD will last.
You cannot use an SSD like you normally would an HDD because it would burn out quickly.

not the financial way
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;28984302]I think there are more important upgrades than an SSD...[/QUOTE]
Depends on your computer. For me for example, no, buying anything else would be wasting money.
Though I am tempted to wait for the PCI-E drives to go down in price, but that will probably take years.

The flash cells will still last you minimum 5 years if you use 15GB every day of read and writes on a SSD like the OCZ Vertex2,3 and the new intel SSD.
After 5 years you probably wont use it anymore.
Since it will be used as a Boot Disk you won't use that amount of data, if you use it to download porn with then you should just stick to a HDD unless you get a storage HDD then you could do that with a very fast boot up of your windows and movie player (programs)
I bought an I5 this year, a 260 GTX last year, and honestly all games are running fully smooth.
Well, except minecraft.

Exactly.
Use the SSD as a primary to store the OS, drivers, programs and/or games you frequently use. Store everything else, such as movies, pictures, documents...etc on your HDD as a secondary. With this setup you are minimizing the amount of writes while benefiting from unlimited reads, thus using it to its full potential while greatly increasing the lifespan of the SSD.
Well, if you have the money. I recommend buying an SSD. I myself bought one and I'm glad I did it.
Fuck that, I'm running on a Pentium Dual Core. And a 5770. Something wrong with this picture and it's not a lack of SSD
I have a 500GB SSD built into my laptop. I'm rather happy with it.
I've hit my quota for upgrading for the year, to an i7, ddr3 and a gtx460, and can hardly complain at the moment.
I WILL note however, that the concept of the SSD is tantalizing. Worrying about such things as hd failures is a staple of my own paranoia. I'm ALWAYS worried when a see a random performance hiccup whether or not my drive has begun the slow burn to oblivion, and is taking my unsaved data with it. That, plus my hard drive is by far the loudest component of my machine, making the MSI-Cyclone fan on the GTX and the massive Zalman copper heatsink on my i7 of no notice compared to the clicking and whirring of the drive heads.
I welcome the day when these SSD drives become the standard. When the time comes that there is almost no reason to favor a hdd over an sdd, I'll be certain to swap-out for these silent, zero-moving-parts drives, and revel in their efficiency.
For now, I can hardly justify repurchasing Windows 7 and totally re-installing my many programs and transferring all my data. As nice as it would be to have an SDD that handles the Windows system and a few select, frequently used applications while a blank HDD stores everything else, it's just too much all at once, especially with education in California slated to hit a brick wall soon.
i bought a defragmentation for my computer and WOW did it speed up! games run twice as fast

You don't need to repurchase Windows. Just install Windows 7 and enter your current key.

If you're trolling, just no. If you're serious, lol.
Let's sum this up:
If you buy one PC upgrade this year.. and you do not have a outdated computer.. let it be a ssd
Naaah. I still need a network card and a new cpu fan to replace that loud piece of shit I got with my Phantom II x4 955.
