Got my BF3 already this evening UK time from Amazon!
Highly optimizes for crossfire cards! 1920x1200 all ULTRA, anti-aliasing deferred off anti-aliasing post high Motion Blur on HBAO on 40-80FPS depending on scene. Really great graphics, great game.  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Btw kelvin, what is the best SATA 2 ssd now, my Kingston V+100 is not that fast, want to sell this on ebay and get new one.

Yes, but that's the sequantial read speed.
You still get the faster 4K speed, which is what makes a SSD faster than HDD.. Some SSD benchmark on SATA2.. http://www.laptopmag.com/review/storage/intel-ssd-320.aspx This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Oct 28 2011, 04:49 AM |

Because even though M4 and C300 has high maximum read speed, that is only achievable using SATA 3 isn't it Lee? intel return rate was  but intel does fails me twice  both my intel ssd 1st gen 160gb always give me bluescreen and system hang. my another latitude e4200 was using samsung PM800 almost closed to 4 years still in good condition. oh ya, sand force is fast but when ur ssd goin to full den u wil know the speed is drop |

Thanks Lee and Kelvin.
Hmm kinda confuse now, because currently my kingston write speed, especially 512k, has reduced a lot, and that is only few weeks of usage. I wonder if TRIM is working as it should on my ssd. So, among those you guys mentioned, which one is most worthy to buy? @Pro3363 Not so sure, but I can tell you this game does really good in optimizing hardware. |

You checked the TRIM status?
QUOTE How do I know if TRIM is working in Windows 7? In the Elevated command Prompt windows, type the following: fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify Results explained below: DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled) DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled) |
