Wow new upgrades :)
So broke down and got some new upgrades for my computer. Got a Crucial M4 512GB SSD and a GeForce GTX680.
Boot times went from 3.5 minutes for stable machine to 25 seconds. Gaming with the GTX680 is awesome. |

None of those, but very interesting how IE just comes up and goes right the page you want. None of that first time connecting wait you see sometime just pretty dang instant to any website.
UPDATE: Yep just went to the threads of cars of different colors where almost evey post is a picture and it is instant. |

I just built a machine w/ an 8-core 3.2 GHz Bulldozer and 16 GB RAM. I do software dev so lots of virtual machines and servers are necessary.

Boot times and loading times are basically all a function of how fast the hard drive is. So the solid state drive did the trick

PCI-E 3 is backwards compatible with PCI-E 2 and PCI-E 1.
