guys i heard that write speeds in ssd dont matter much is it true?

it only matters when u install applications and copy/paste files within the ssd only?

i want to know are these true or not? my main usage is browsing the web with lets say 20 to 30 tabs open with 5 to 10 of them running youtube in background and extracting rar files which are from 500 mb to 5 gb?
And game loading so for my usage a ssd with faster read times will it be ok? or do i need faster write times as well?

hey guys i m currently using ocz vertex 2 60 gb as a boot and 2+yr old western digital scorpio 320gb as a storage drive in my laptop.

Boot time is longer after i installed the ssd why is that? also i did a clean install of windows by dvd drive installation took around 25~30 mins??

i am running in ahci modei enabled in bios my chipset is pm965 it supports sata 2 so why am i not seeing any gain?

do i need to update any firmware?
