[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1589388, member: 56379"] Your original post said that you had an SSD in it already. In your 2nd post you said that might have a traditional HD. This is a pretty important point...so it would be good to know for sure...before you start spending money.;) If you do currently have a traditional "rotating" HD...then upgrading to an SSD will result in: - faster restarts - faster saving of files - faster opening of files - faster launching of applications But...what an SSD will not do is actually increase the speed of things cpu and gpu related. An SSD is just a storage device...it will not make cpu calculations or graphics processing faster. If you actually do already have an SSD...then another or bigger SSD is not really going to speed things up. - Nick [/QUOTE]
