Boli, I thought you made enough dough trading. Now you're trying to get LEAPup and me into a bidding war. You're the seller on eBay right?. Admit it! :p

I think you have me confused with someone else... I have never used a NVS card in my life. LOL :D

Well I am trying to gauge the level of disk activities.

If you look at the specs of a SSD... let me take Intel X25-M model SSDSA2MH080G1 for example:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167005

The drive is capable of

Sustained Sequential Read Up to 250MB/sec
Sustained Sequential Write up to 70MB/sec

Now if you compare it to your own trading/charting activities... If you constantly hit something like 10 MB/sec, then I think a SSD would probably be benefitial. On the other hand, if you rarely see anything over 100 KB/sec (taking it to the opposite end of the spectrum), then having a SSD for trading probably is not noticeable. I hope this makes sense.

Not for comparison just a review,specs and good info for tests done on the ssd installed in this build

Tiki, looks like they sold out on that deal, so the cheapest I can get it for now is $50. Hence, comparable may help if you happen to see anything that catches the eye.

Ok Ok Ok,,,,, "......Not for comparison," Yea right, ,,, Don't rub it in :) ! When I built my box (around January '11) Crucial was the ONLY company selling SSDs with the SATA III 6Gb/s Interface (on Newegg).

hahahaaa... that's great :D

Seriously though, the Intel is my first choice. I wanted to take a shot at the ocz for the price and specs, but was well aware there are some issues with it. ( Sandforce controller issues leading to BSOD, and some other not so fun problems http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/22/ocz_vertex_flash_bsod/ )
It looks to be so far, as long as you update to firmware 2.09 it is fine.
 
After some research, I have decided to go with HDD, as it is better value for the money. The SSD would be a fraction faster, not enough to interfere with my trading, and surely not justifiable to pay for.

In time it will get cheaper and maybe with some new technology, it may be worth buying it then. Only time will tell.

I think Boli is still buying and still long. The prices on eBay are higher than yesterday, despite SPY taking such a beating.

Boli, did you get this stock tip from our buddy, Jimmy Cramer? :D
 
Memory: Checked!

Got a decent price on the RAM after having done some thorough research. It's compatible with Intel and AMD. The price for 2 sticks: $64.99 (no tax, free shipping).
