Just bought an Intel X25-M purely for EQ2.

Unleash the rage. You know my drive can do better, but I won't let it.

Discuss.

You are a nutter with too much money and an addiction.

That's really harsh.

I agree with Skillers.

You are all gay.

You turned everyone gay with your homosexual advances.

You are all jealous.

So how good is an Intel X25-M exactly?

Watch this video on Youtube.

That video wins purely for the use of OpenTTD.

Of course I won't be seeng any of those benefits.

This is purely for EQ2. For those times when I run multiple clients and for when I want to record with Fraps and not lose too many FPS.

I bet you bought a fresh copy of 7, and are dual booting 7/7. One for everyday use and EQ2, and the other just for EQ2...

Nah, still using mechanical for Windows and everything else. EQ2 is SSD land.

Seems like a bit of a waste

Well it's kind of the only thing I use my PC for

I run a couple of EQ's at a time, with ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker) doing traces on my log files at all times, and sometimes some Fraps

This is FAST.

Woth however much you spent on it?

he says yes, he said it takes one second from pressing the one button on the computer to being fully loaded. at least thats what i thought i heard

This is really impressive. I'd actually consider buying some of these if they were cheaper.

Their prices go up and down constantly to be honest, just like the price of RAM. Watch the prices carefully, and when they drop to a reasonable level, get one before the price soars back up again.

They are never at a reasonable level. Hopefully we'll see some proper price drops shortly, though I believe there has been a problem with flash memory supply/demand in the past few years.

I feel I got a good deal at £150.

£2/GB is a bit steep for my liking, when compared with 5p/GB of conventional drives.

it's just a harddrive, I don't see the point?!
