daftykinsdiddledan: i guess it'll be too much to ask for it to be USB 3.0, but that'd be amazing18:26
diddledanit's got a blue inner, which is the usual indicator that it's 3.018:27
daftykinsyeah i did wonder18:27
daftykinssome nice read speeds to an SSD would be nice :>18:27
diddledanaye18:27
diddledanI really need an SSD in my desktop18:27
diddledanit's sooo slow18:27
daftykinswhat is your deskie spec again?18:28
diddledanit's an AMD Bulldozer 8core thingy with 16 GB of thrust^H^HRAMs18:29
diddledanI might upgrade soon18:30
penguin42yeh I run the OS off an SSD - great improvement18:30
penguin42OS and home, but then still have spinny rust for most of my projects18:31
diddledanapparently the next iteration of amd cpu is going to move from their weird two-integer-one-fpu thingy to the hyperthready system that intel use18:31
DJonesdiddledan: I use an SSD in may home laptop, unless you;'re worried about an extra 30 seconds bootingup, I haven't found any benefit at all,18:32
penguin42ah good,  and the fab that AMD have access to have got much better I think since last time - so I hope they'll be a bit more competitive18:33
diddledanaye18:33
diddledanthey're citing huge performance gains18:33
diddledanbut considering their complete no-show in terms of performance at the mo that might put them just behind intel :-p18:34
daftykinsSSDs do way more than boot up time18:35
diddledan<random>I've got to collect a parcel tomorrow18:35
penguin42DJones: Really? I find it way more responsive18:35
daftykinsmy friend thats over atm has a Windows 7 bitlocker encrypted machine, high spec but it boots and logs in slower than mechanical =|18:37
DJonespenguin42: But once its booted up, I sthere areally a noticable difference in general use (web/email etc), I can't find any diffference18:37
daftykinsi figure it must not be a microsoft e-drive compatible setup, which uses the hardware controllers built in encryption capabilities18:37
daftykinshuge difference in every task for me :)18:37
diddledan<continued random> the parcel has one of these thingies in it: http://www.kryoflux.com/18:37
penguin42DJones: Maybe not for web, but starting applications etc18:37
diddledanyeah, it's starting programs and bootup that I'm finding really painful18:39
diddledanmy other systems with SSD are much more usable18:39
DJonespenguin42: Might be the way I use my computer, I come home from work, switch it on, open irssi, pidgin, polly, email, there's absolutley no performance gain in that type of usage18:40
* diddledan pines for Solid States18:40

daftykinsmust be fine tuning the content yarr18:49
daftykinsi still feel a bit hesitant as to how 'complete' it'll be on day one18:49
diddledanmaybe, just I don't get how applying it to already upgraded systems helps them test it18:49
daftykinsi know it'll be worked on but damn, got enough hassle with games not being ready on release :)18:49

daftykinshmm i guess that's the only way you can get MS product updates?18:51
daftykinsnot like a normal electronics manufacturer where their site has a downloads page?18:52
diddledanI'm just hoping that MS are getting metrics reported about it so they can try to figure out what's going wrong18:52
