^^^ Especially for a swap file. He's already bought all the parts and we went through this already - he didn't listen to anyone's advice. This is a bragging thread. Don't worry, it's very nice - you'll love it. _________________ [Threepwood:] ...that a sequel can never truly be as good as the original? -- [LeChuck:] Lies! Filthy, dirty, LIES!!!

it could come in handy when doing screen capture, sometimes my video files are in excess of a 100gb, that is with the best codec i could find without a noticable difference in quality. so if i am playing from the same drive i am recording to i often get dropped frames simply because my ram cant hold the excess while it waits for stuff to be written. this doesnt hold true for my main raid array but sometimes space is an issue. with the possibility of a dedicated swap drive that issue would be much less noticable and completely gone below a certain size. if one doesnt plan on using a raid array then it might be an okay investment the price of a good 80gig considered, the 32 gigabyte of ram would also help with this but i dont know if anything will actually utilize that much, i once had a habbit of uploading the entire eve online game to the ram to have the absolute minimum read/write time, i used a generic utility called lmdisk to create a software ram drive and used a small script to copy the entire game to ram before launching it. _________________ //through chaos comes complexity// the scent of the tamarillo is pungent and powerfull, woe be to the nose who nears it.

true, for newer generations it should be more than the rated hours of operation for mechanical drives, _________________ //through chaos comes complexity// the scent of the tamarillo is pungent and powerfull, woe be to the nose who nears it.
