So, if Raged invited you, does that mean you were at PG?

Anyways, hello.

For a short while I was, yes. He then invited me to Infusion Gaming around December and then moved on to CG just recently, even though I'm certain he's had an account for a while at CG.

It isn't as fast as the force 3 was when it actually worked, but windows boot up is only like 10 seconds and you generally can use programs right away without having to wait

It looks good but it's $250AUD; a ridiculous price for a SATA2 SSD, plus they are out of stock of them at the store I'm buying them from.  Have you used a Kingston SSD before? $90AUD for 60GBS (even though SATA2.5) which is what I'm after. What's your opinion on them?

Also I am on a budget for my PC which is why I don't want to pay so much for just an SSD. I'm over my budget by about $50 and I'm willing to go over to about $100-200AUD

I had a corsair force 3 which died on me in a couple of months, they've got really bad support which took 4 days to respond to me(never bothered sending it back, cba)

I see. I'm assuming you're using an Intel SSD now? What type and how many gigabytes?

If you've got the money it is really, really nice to have just make sure you go with something reliable like intel as I've gone through 3 or 4 of them

Intel's stuff is overpriced as fuck.

Corsair Force SATA3 Series 60GB 2.5 SSD - $110.00
compared to
Intel 520 series 60GB SSD - $152.00

And I don't even think the 520 is SATA3.

I'm getting my new PC next week and I'm planning on getting a single-state drive, is it worth the $110AUD I'm going to pay for a 60GB SSD? I'll be installing the 64 bit Windows 7 operating system on the SSD to increase the boot time. Should I do it?

Also, my new PC specs can be found here.

Try not to faint due to my amazing PC. I just upgraded from an Nvidia 9500GT 500mb so that explains the fairly decent Graphics card, Plan to upgrade at some point.

Upgrade to 64 bit and get more RAM.

Case is some CoolerMaster one, can't remember the name, but it works. Monitor is a SAMSUNG SyncMaster 245B, also very nice. Fyi, my components temperatures aren't that high, it's the temperature sensors that are screwed up. Haven't been able to fix it.

Oh and the memory frequency is actually 1666 MHz, not 824MHz.

Do you bake muffins on your pc?

Heya, welcome.

One question, are you new to CG self?
There's like a big server information post that I could post for you. (it's a bit more updated)

If you mean am I new to CG itself then yes I'm new. A friend called Raged invited me to play HL2RP. I know how to roleplay properly also, if that's what you're implying.
