Quote - Well after 3 days my new system is up and running with most of the programs loaded.  I stuck with Windows 7 as I have grown used to it and Windows 8 is too new for me to be tempted.  Most of my extra speed comes from using an SSD for the programs and Intel Rapid Storage which, while the SSD cost a little more, was better value than Windows 8.

 

SSDs are nice, until that final write. Keep it backed up on something just incase.

My PCIexpress one spent more time in the mail than in my machine...

 

 

Good idea in theory, until it dies....
