just bought an ssd

[Ph?bus]

It is going to be a boot drive, so it is more than enough for just windows



I have 15 days, so if it doesn't work, i'll just bring it back



It was really late, Ima try harder next time

I watched like the first 30 seconds of the i5 650 and just stopped.
You're like "Hey guys (pause, sigh) we've got an i5 650 today (pause, sigh)". Well maybe not exactly like that, but you get the point. You need to be excited! And USE A TRIPOD. :cursing:

I'm lovin the SSD life. the only program i have on it is Chrome. Not really sure what else to put on it.

So far there is:
-Windows
-Chrome
-Music (I only have like 2gb of this)

that is 20GB right there

 

[Ph?bus]

Wow do you really need your music on there? lol.
If you actually pushed your hardware, you could put CS5 on it. But since you play light games and fold, you don't really have anything else that will need SSD speeds.

Bc2 isnt very light, and Borderlands is pretty heavy too.


Gimp>all of photoshop

BC2 is hardly HDD demanding. Borderlands is pretty weak, dude.

CS5 != just Photoshop.
Also, if gimp is better than Photoshop, why is Photoshop used by professionals?

because of government mind control

because of government mind control

Or the fact that it's simply better. Lol.
Sure, you can do pretty much* the same things you can in PhotoShop, but it's usually trickier and more time consuming.
*Pretty much does not mean you can always do the same things.

 

[reflex99]

Yea, well I can't justify

"Paying" 9000GB of my DL speed for CS5

 

[Ph?bus]

I have no idea what you're trying to say. :blink:

 

[reflex99]

1. I don't have $

2. I don't want to use alterate means

The guy with 980x + SLI GTX480s who is 16, and who uses a $1700 camera with a $500 lens and claims to be not spoiled.

Do I have to define spoiled to you?

It's just not right to call someone spoiled when their simply doing better in the economy than you are, i mean Not to come on in a harsh way but yeah..

Now, How am I spoiled? Sure I didn't work 50 hour weeks for this, but I do other stuff to pay my "debt" back. I do alot of photography work and video work, so my Canon 7D fits me perfectly, check out my flickr if you will, I don't waste any of the machines or hardware I have here, Everything I have ever got I beat the living shit out of, used it to its maximum potential before I upgraded or retired.

I appreciate all my gifts, or stuff that my parents provided. And all appreciate the products I purchase with my own money myself even more. I don't ask for a BMW, I dont ask to live in a 50000sqft house, I don't ask to re-paint my room every day, I don't have a wardrobe containing over 9000$ worth of clothes.

Usually when I make some money I would treat my parents or my friends to a dinner of somesort. sooo...... I'm not really sure how you define spoiled.

When someone simply has some better gadgets than you, it makes them spoiled?

Let me define spoiled, a 5th grader with an iPhone purchased on the day of release, and all he uses it for is calling his parents and thats about it.

Or some guy with a 2800$ camera, but he can't take pictures to save his life.

Now thats just spoiled and the person is also quite possibly retarded


I'm actually 15 though, but thanks


Rant Over.

I could send you a PM on optimizing a install of windows 7, with drivers and stuff down to 7Gigs flat.
