So i plug memory like this is ok right ?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I'm curious that, possible to use SSD + SATA or not.
There not listed =___=
SSD must put at 1 slot follow by the rest.

This RAM can be used by server ?

How come 8GB just RM300++, I'm doubt with it ....

RAM placement does not matter IMO, as long as the system support it, some system has restriction of 4GB per rank.
SSD + SATA? You mean SSD + HDD? As long as it's configured properly, you can have any combination of SSD and/or HDD.
But if RAID must be between the same mechanic, i.e. SSD + SSD or HDD + HDD.

8GB DDR3 for RM300? Probably the non-ECC, for the buffered or ECC (server RAM) the price could be double or higher, you can't mix ECC with non-ECC RAM, it's most recommended to use ECC RAM for critical workstation and server, although the performance could be lower.

lets say if i get an SSD, and i want to migrate my windows 7 onto it, is it possible? PC spec on my sig bar

You can try to use Clone software to clone your previous Windows 7 volume/partition only over.
Software like erm, Acronis TrueImage or equivalent.
This is theoretically works but depends on the system, might not work cause the SSD needs proper driver to boot or possibly other Windows related settings.

Maybe you can list your PC specs and your startup loads.
Programs that consume lots of RAM and CPU during loads can also slows down your startup time, especially those applications that relies on heavy load of drivers, etc. Well, even the highest-end Sony Vaio with RAID0 SSD also slows down due to bloat-ware so it's pretty normal.
With that said, compared to Velociraptor or top-of-the-line SCSI 16k enterprise HDD, cheapest SSD still wins. whistling.gif

hey guys, whats d current price list for ssds in market? im running on nec versa e6500, feel jz wanna get faster start up speed by changing the hdd. =)

if affordable yawn.gif

p/s: my computer fan sound is pretty loud. anybody got any ideas why? i think sent for cleaning once but the sound remains, thx
*
With that processor, it's better to find a better laptop, like the newest Intel Core i5 3000 series then you'll really feel the power of SSD.

For your fan problem, umm, you can try better notebook cooler which has adjustable fan and position to the fan intake. Else it could be the thermal paste need to be changed. I'm not sure if the person that you sent to does a thorough cleaning? unsure.gif

Mind telling what you'll be doing with all those speed? Real-time FHD rendering?
I think that speed (refer to first quote) is already quite fast, considering the 4K at 25MB, can boot up windows under 10 seconds. Launch applications like loading up from RAM.
If you're serious about speed, invest on PCI-E, SATA will still needs to pass through another controller so there's always a bottleneck there. nod.gif

The speed? I'm simply a perfectionist regarding PC. It just bothers me so much that i NEED it to be fast. sorry bout that. Money wise, i can kumpul it to buy new stuff. Of course will not buying new stuff this month. There's a pci-e for sata?

Added on July 5, 2012, 8:13 am

Hmmm, what if I do heavy after effects? Will it have any difference?
*
There's PCI-E SSD, which cost probably double or higher, but it provide the highest I/O, highest bandwidth and possibly the lowest response since the 16x PCI-E directly incorporate with the CPU since the Intel Core i generation so you'll get the most out of the SSD.
But, yeah if you looking for value, SATA MLC SSD still the best, otherwise enterprise SLC SSD will cost arm and leg, if you're serious about overall performance. wink.gif

Is it okay / normal? hmm.gif

The 4K is little low (not too low) but that's to be expected since you have OS installed on that drive already, so it's pretty much normal, and darn, near 500MB (sequential) ler thumbup.gif

Stop watch function on the phone?
There's no software that I know can clock when you press on the power button so stop watch still the best one to go with. You can even "lap" the time in between mainboard boot and Windows boot.

now only notice that my mobo only have sata 2.0...which is im going to buy crucial m4 that use sata 3.0...can i get recommendation on this? do i need to buy pcie sata 3 card or buy a new mobo? is there any noticable differences between sata 2.0 and sata 3.0 in case of boot time or playing games like bf3 on it?
*
Most possibly none, but only so significant that you can only notice using BootRacer or benchmarking software.
When you say "playing games" which performance are you referring to? Don't tell me its FPS (frame per second)??

soo..ill just stick to use my p55 mobo with the crucial m4 in sata2_0. blush.gif

btw..what is raid0?
*
Loading will definitely decrease, but can't guarantee by how much since HDD loading very dependent on data location on the HDD and also the fragmentation of the data.
RAID0, umm, technically it's striping, if you want to increase speed of your HDD, then this could be a good choice but you get decreased security on your data, either 1 HDD fail and your data goes bye bye.
RAID0 on SSD will only increased its bandwidth, will not improve the latency since the latency is already way low.
If you want to learn more about RAID0... google is your friend nod.gif

Get the Intel 320 if you don't care about numbers and warranty, most value! wink.gif
As for PSU (Power Supply), if you're using GX, better change la... my personal advise.

the guy at the shop asked me to change because my current 460w PSU can't support the new GC i just changed.

Um, the GX Bronze, found some good reviews about it, I thought it was the old GX series. blush.gif
The numbers that I meant is the benchmarks' result.

Crucial M4, best price + reliable so far.
Otherwise Intel 330 also not a bad deal since the price cut.

why do you need 2 PSU @@ , oh but if anything happens 5 years warranty =D

any of you guys got advise on the SSD?
*
Read last few pages from here, those posted picture is benchmark results, higher they're of course it's better but for SSD as daily use, you won't feels those different unless you're looking at video encoding, even so you should really look at the random read/write benchmark results. Data won't be at one place every time.
If you just looking at boot time, then look at the picture, most of it has 4 results, look at the 3rd one, Crucial M4 should be around 25~28MB/s which should translate into 7~10 seconds of Windows boot time, really quick IMO.

Generally, like I say before, get the Intel 320 that you have listed, otherwise just go for the size that comfortable (budget) for you. If you only need fast boot time, any SSD will work for you.

Is there any review on M4 @ SATA2? Didn't saw (or notice) any, would like to see the 4K random on the read and write, most important part IMO.
