Nevermind.

Look for the Intel 80GB G2 on ebay. Many people purchased them for $219 on Black Friday and are reselling them for $230-$260. Much better.

It's worth nothing that both of these two titles include -- or at least, recently included-- $10 rebate coupons for owners of the Braveheart and Gladiator DVDs. If Amazon is still shipping boxes with those rebate coupons, and you own those titles on DVD, then both will be free after mail-in...

ATI also plans a new low-end solution in the near future. It should offer similar performance with less energy consumption, less heat, and less noise for around $125.

As indicated above, defragging does nothing for SSD performance and will use up flash write cycles (which are finite).

Many bricked their Intel SSD with that firmware. I would wait for the revised firmware, expected in about two weeks. The SSD Toolkit is safe if you don't mind losing your Windows restore points.

Thanks. Someone just sent me this link to the firmware (don't use it!) and the SSD Toolbox: http://rapidshare.com/files/308974415/SSD.rar.html[

Does anyone have the Intel SSD Toolbox? Intel took down all of their links and I have not been able to locate a mirror.

You've got it reversed. More space usually means more memory chips, which usually means more channels. More channels translates to better write performance. Most of the 128GB models also feature added cache to improve performance.

Are you using Windows 7 with the default Microsoft SATA driver? Or did you install some third-party driver, like the Intel Matrix Storage set? I don't know whether Crystal Disk reports the correct info on TRIM if a non-Microsoft SATA driver is used. The 2CV102HA firmware on the Intel 80GB and...

Some are reporting that the Kingston 40GB SSD is shipping with the 2CV102HA firmware, which is the same firmware that adds support for TRIM on Intel's G2 SSD drives. Can anyone confirm whether their Kingston 40GB SSD has the 2CV102HA firmware with TRIM?

As the previous poster suggested, I would consider a separate DSL line for your tenants. What you are doing now is not legal anyway. [Consumer cable and DSL contracts specifically prohibit all forms of resale.]

Note the above Anandtech article is out of date. See some hardware accelerated benchmarks here on a AMD 1.6GHz CPU. http://en.hardspell.com/doc/sh...ws_id=2361&pageid=2327 As alluded to above, software acceleration requires a good deal less processor time with CoreAVC.

Maybe 20% with your processor.
