not exactly ground breaking news, and kinda pointless, all the same though enjoy your 2xarma, it begs the question, do you have two heads?

yeah i think im just gonna do it, havent heard anyone say they regret buying one, pity theyre so expensive in Australia, its cheaper to buy one from the USA over ebay than locally... thanks for the replies.

thanks Tankbuster, this is what i was hoping to hear, after reading more into the tech available it seems the Intel G2 is the way to go as it has the fastest access times in the market.

thanks for the suggestions rexehuk, i am looking at particularly the 80GB Intel X-25M G2, larger would be nice but dont really want to spend more than around $300, so i guess after checking the prices on the sandforce, that only leaves me with the Intel option, plus i have the Velociraptor for other less demanding games/apps like you said, so 80GB should do the job nicely. and yeah its been a while since my last upgrade (noctua HSF) i built this rig over 12 months ago and it cost me enough back then, well over $2k, however having a nice fast snappy system was always the plan so an SSD would just compliment the build nicely. ---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ---------- i have read several sources claiming that arma2 does benefit in game from having quicker access times from an SSD. i'll link these sources if you're interested, dont have them bookmarked but i could find them easy enough.

you could possibly be right there zachanscom, however with the price drops recently and the performance bosst not only in arma but in the system overall that everyone raves about, i think my rig deserves one.

gday, Im looking at upgrading to an SSD in my gaming rig, im currently running a 150Gb Velociraptor for my OS and all games/apps, and from what ive read this seems to be the major bottleneck in my system in regards to running Arma2. current system specs: CPU: i7-920 @ 3.8Ghz GPU: 4870x2 @ 780/900 RAM: 6GB G.Skill 8-8-8-20 1448MHz PSU: Coolermaster 850w AUDIO: Xonar DX MOBO: ASUS P6T Deluxe HDD 1: 150GB Velociraptor HDD 2: 1TB WD Caviar black OS: Win 7 x64 Im pretty clueless when it comes to SSD's, as ive only just considered buying one and havent had the time to research and compare the different controllers available, from what ive read @ anandtech.com im swaying towards the Intel G2. any experiences or recomendations with either Intel G1/G2, Indilinx and sandforce based drives from the Arma2 community would be very helpful, im happy with my fps (~50fps 1920x1080 terrain low/objects high/100% 3D res) but i still feel overall there is something lacking. cheers.

why would ya buy a game like arma if you only want PvP action????? surely you people can realise this game wasnt built for small scale deathmatch???? the only potential i can see in this game is large scale warfare, or god forbid coop missions, as much as i hate coop and sympathise with u all there, why the hell would you buy a game like this to only play ctf or aas??? the only mp mission to play in arma is warfare as far as im concerned...

post removed mate, please dont distribute it, it was me that stupidly posted it there, im a fairly new member over at OCB and thought it was a private forum... I would be kicking myself big time if it ended up everywhere, so if you did download it, mate all i can ask is that you keep it too yourself. :o
