    The SSD Cookbook

    Not to trash you guys, but a smart person tries to benefit from others' experience. New hardware and software keeps coming out and things change. Why would I want to experience every mistake personally when I could read how someone else solved the problem. But, maybe that's not your method. The...

    The SSD Cookbook

    I'm thinking about adding a Crucial M4 64 Gb SSD to my recent build (ASUS P8Z68-V). I see so many questions, comments, explanations of the SSD, I wonder if it is ready for prime time.

    Is this system OK?

    This system will be used for Photoshop – editing larger images (now 20 Mb each). Other apps are standard business stuff. No games. No overclocking. Quiet operation is a big deal for me - it is a quiet area now! Reusable parts: 2 monitors, SATA drives, SATA DVD, and KB, mouse, etc. This...
