The hybrid drives actually aren't that much of an improvement compared to a HDD, and they're actually considerably noisy. Known to overheat, KEEP IT VENTILATED WELL, it gave me tons of errors. This thing lights up quite quickly.. The small 4 gigs of SS practically only leaves the drive back at the same rate of writing or reading as any other HDD. Other than that it gives a small boot time improvement and is generally as fast as an 10k RPM HDD. If one of you uber techies has any way to access the SS part of the drive, then we can actually tune this.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mah Goonz Approved: 1. Phenom II x2 550 - Extremely fastass dual-core processor, offering all the advantages of the Phenom II series. Includes the possibility of being a Quad Core, with a simple unlock. For $100, you practically turn this into a 950. A worthy successor to the Athlon 7750. 2. Adobe Premier CS4 - Advance video editing tools as any other without the hassle of a learning curve. 3. After Effects - Used by numerous people to create 3D designs, animated logo's, and effects for videos such as the Jumper Effect, Legit-Looking Explosions, etc. 4. Creative Sound Blaster Arena Headsets - Uberass headset for a decent price. Not exactly Audiophile quality, but it offers a tight bass and great sound quality. The mic is good, but a little too bendy for my taste, but it works. Does a good job on surround sound deciphering on what is in front or behind you. though not as efficient as an actual speaker surround sound. It has a built-in sound card so it offers very consistent quality on wherever you go compared to other Headsets relying on a decent sound card. The only real problem with this headset for me is that it isn't very pretty, though I'd just simply spray-paint it black since the white really does it make hideous.
