Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit + xp,Vista,ubuntu in V-Box's St.Louis,Mo |
Sorry to bump my own thread...
So after moving some files and the games I talked about, I got it down more than I thought I would. A 128gb should do me fine. (And that's with extra room)
I also think I'm leaning towards the Crucial M4.
Thank you all, for all the advice!! | My System Specs |

You should also get rid of the hiberfile (it is the size of your RAM) and reduce the pagefile to 2GB. With a large RAM that frees up a lot of space. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops

That was a good deal. Those sold out quickly. Let's hope they are of good quality. In the past they had some fire sales on SSDs that were problematic. But in this case at least the user comments seem to be OK (with a few special exceptions). | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
