Does anyone think Superfetch is necessary on SSD drives?

superfetch will eventually take forever to load all your stuff in RAM, as it has tendency to load in RAM anything and everything you have ever used. Since there's no way to tweak it, there's no way of telling it to not load gigabytes of stuff into RAM as soon as it is launched (which is as soon as you boot up), so how is that going to help you if SSD has to handle multiple requests? You'd have to compete with it every time for the SSD access.

pretty much what i was thinking when i made the thread but figured i'd ask to be sure.
even if SF can make it faster, with the speed of SSD i dont see how its possible to notice.

Did you get a significant/noticeable improvement in system speed when you switched to SSD?

yes, significant.
boots/shutsdown way faster, applications load instant, games load up noticably faster.
zero noise. but i wouldnt recommend anyone spend $800 on one though lol but when you use one you definitly realize what a bottleneck even a fast HD like the Velociraptor is, which i'm now using as my secondary drive for storage.
