Hi all,
I've been wondering what the benefits of an SSD are for games? I'm considering getting one for a boot drive, and was wondering if I should get one large enough to toss some games on there as well [Empire: Total War, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead 2, Orange Box (Half Life 2, Episodes 1&2, etc)]. If there is a performance boost, I'll set money aside, but if not there's no point, right?
If there IS a benefit, what size SSD would I need? And recommendations if thats ok. Ideally something that works with my X58A-UD3R without needed a control PCI board.
Thanks in advance! Answers to either/both questions appreciated.
