I still don't trust Solid State drives.. Or, rather, I do.. ... I just don't trust Windows to not completely kill a drive with it's constant read/writing. Even now I can hear my drive clicking away frantically, doing whatever the hell it is that Windows does in the background, ALL THE DAMN TIME!!! Having a Solid State as a primary sounds like.. Well, my recent HP laptop incident.. .. Except that was a standard drive!! Meh, whatever.. Other than that, seems alright, but I'm not as up on my tech as I once was. I've heard good things about the 1080, though. That supports VR, right!? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

It'll definitely be enough to play Manic Miner on a Speccy emu, that's or sure!

I've been running an SSD on Windows 8.1 for a couple of years now, no issues and great boot times! I havent built a PC in 8 years now... so it is time for a good upgrade, so I dont intend to update for at least another 4/5

I am not buying a regular desktop anymore. The electric bill can get pretty high. 70 watts on avarage use a year was around 70 dollars i read recently. Those desktops can have 500 watts. That would be 500 dollars of electricity a year. Then you need a monitor (or 4) Those netbooks back then only cost less then 10 dollars a year on avarage use. I did quite some programming on netbooks and it was a pretty good experience.

That's only if you have it running 24/7 though Pakz.

A fan in my laptop started making a worn sound last week. Not to sure how much life is left in it. 4 months to go and it lasted 4 years. I hope it lasts till the new laptop cpu's from intel get released in august. Its said there is a 30% improvement in speed. The current 7th gen was also around 30% faster(single core) then my 4th gen proc. Javascript and compiling should be a lot faster with the new cpu's. The ryzen mobile cpu's are said to come in 2018. That is a long wait.

Well I've been putting off building a new computer for the past 2 years... I did start looking at bits and bobs a few months before the new AMD CPUs, so I waited again... Still installing software and going thru the old PC...
