    Windows 7 SP1 - install after mobo drivers or before?

    Most things are working fine without specific MSI drivers, so I guess I'm fine to just update before drivers. By Windows Live Update I meant Windows Update. I've done all of the updates available so far, apart from (1) Win7 SP1, (2) IE 9.0. Shall I disable system restore while doing the next...

    Windows 7 SP1 - install after mobo drivers or before?

    Just building a Win7 Home Premium now and just built the OS and started Windows live and updated everything but didn't install SP1. So far, I only had Windows live upgrade the video driver, no other motherboard driver is installed. Shall I install SP1 first, or the motherboard drivers first...

    Which for boot drive? Vertex 2 120gb, or Agility 3 - 60gb?

    Thanks but this is my personal rig too, it's HTPC, gaming, file server. Is Agility 3 better in long-term for degredation?

    Which for boot drive? Vertex 2 120gb, or Agility 3 - 60gb?

    I just got a OCZ Vertex2 120gb to build a HTPC/file server Win7 machine. It'd be the boot drive, with another 2TB drive. Now I am debating if I should exchange that for Agility3 60gb? Does the added performance of Agility3 matter in my case? or the larger size of 120gb is better in the...

    Best SSD under $200

    EXACTLY! You just proved my point! How many bought a $1500 64GB drive back then? and I still didn't find it reasonable to pay $400 for 60GB last year.

    Best SSD under $200

    I am not sure what SSD is that, but right now, is the only time that 40GB+ SSDs are at a price point that makes sense to buy one ($2.80/GB). It was double that last year which was way to expensive IMO.

    Best SSD under $200

    Thanks. I think I am settled on OCZ Vertex 2 or Agility 2. Probably the 90GB as I am not sure if 60GB would be enough for the long run as OS drive.

    Best SSD under $200

    I find some of the responses to my comment of slow SSD development totally out of line! In almost ALL of Anand's SSD reviews, the slow pace of SSD development, and SLOW price drop is mentioned time and time again, and for some forum members to claim to the contrary is baffling to me! There was...

    Best SSD under $200

    Is it just the firmware? Looks like it, or does the actual NAND modules are also different?

    Better than that A-data? or Corsair Force CSSD? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233131

    Best SSD under $200

    Thanks for your help, I slightly disagree as over the last 2 years, I've been monitoring SSD development and as much as it's been great, it's been buggy, poor performance under certain circumstances and IMO VERY slow to come down in price, only in the last couple of months it seems like SSD is...

    Best SSD under $200

    I've read all the reviews and it is AS CONFUSING as can be! Different platforms, technologies, performance new vs. used, TRIM vs. Garbage collection, random access vs. sequential performance (like Intel is great in former but not in latter)! I am finding it very frustrating that such a...
