The SSD drive must make a HUGE difference. Why did you purchase a 320 when a 256 would suffice?

My work computer scores a 7.7/7.8 on everything except the hard drive as well. 5.9.

Hmm. I wonder if this test is arbitrary?

I wouldn't have sufficed for my purpose. With all the applications and games I will have installed on the computer, I will be reaching the low 200GBs in terms of space used. I didn't want to leave myself with that little room to install other programs.

That extra 100GB gives me the piece of mind that I can load several other programs in the future without worry that my main drive won't have enough space.

Cool, thanks. My hard drive is at 111 GB's with program files but I have five other hard drives that do the heavy lifting.

I can't wait until 2TB drives cost as little as the 320 you purchased.

Old computer is finally getting to the point where I just want to throw it out the ****ing window. In the last couple weeks it gotten really slow to where you can no longer watch youtube videos. But I suppose 10 or so years is pretty good value for the money.

This new one is a little overkill for my needs but w/e. Bought a USB 2.0 CM 690II case a year ago when it was like $40 that its going in.
