I am trying to boost the speed of my PC and i have bought an extra 4gb ram (it will take the ram up to 8gb) someone has mentioned about an SSD - i dont know much about them but suggested using one for the OS only could improve speed even more - I thought i would ask the experts

It's true, a SSD will do the biggest performance boost than anything else. We have a few good tutorials for installing them if you get one.
Right that sounds like a plan i will order one now - the tutorials sound good as well Crucial M550 128GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD | Crucial UK GBP Store Organization Thats the one i am gonna order
I am gonna put Win 7 ultimate 64bit as i am adding 4gb of ram to it as well to make it 8gb at the mo its using the 32 bit (i just hope my sims 2 still works, does on my laptop and sisters PC they both 64 bit)
I am actually ditching the HD that the OS is on now i wanna clean install - and there will be a 1 tb drive and a 2tb drive in
with a new SSD a fresh install is best, use this tut to get it ready.

Thats what i want to much clutter on this comouter at the mo so i am gonna take my time reinstallimng everything leaving the SSD for just the OS looking forward to doing it all now
