Ok, forget about video settings then (since that boils down to hardware; mostly)

If you are playing CS: GO, please can you help me with console rates in relation to your ADSL line speed.
I am currently running a 2Mbps line with stock rates and was wondering what they should be.
Also what are the recommended video settings for my line?

Lol thanx mate. I'm going to turn off indexing on my system reserved partition then (which is part of my SSD).
I've already done quite a few other tweaks that I found in a guide as well as some provided by Starbound.
The only swak thing now is the fact that I have a 3Gbps motherboard

I wasn't planning on renaming or removing it.
I was just wondering whether I should keep Indexing on it enabled?

Nice one G :) This is what I have holding my O.S right now: http://www.corsair.com/en/ssd/force-series-gs-ssd/force-series-gs-180gb-sata-3-6gb-s-solid-state-hard-drive.html I've turned of indexing on my C drive in Windows Explorer, but when I go to Disk Management I see that there's a system reserve...

Should one turn off indexing on the system reserved partition that's located on the SSD?

Mine takes about 10 seconds to load from menu into game

Yeah i have Skyrim. You saying that my loading times should be quicker?

Ah thanks man. That's a relief
In that guide by Sean, which features or services would you turn off for the SSD in windows?

Does this look ok for a 3gbps mobo?

Followed his guide already
What program should I use to test my SSD's performance?
Thanks

Hi there,
Once I get my SSD, what settings in the BIOS should I change?
And, what settings do I change in Windows to get the SSD running optimally?

Ordered the Corsair 180GB GS
It also has the SandForce controller. I'm sure Corsair are pretty decent.

haha ja true

I'll see what happens.
Thanks for the advice though

I can get the Corsair 180GB gs for about R1800 from landmarkpc.
Hmmm...
Tough descision

Still significantly quicker than the traditional HDD

I suppose it would be a great investment, considering I'll be keeping my SSD for my next build, allowing me to get the full capabilities of 6Gbps.
Do you know of an online store that has the Intel for a cheap price?

I see,

What kind of speeds will I be looking at with a 3Gbps Mobo like mine?

Thanks for your input
I will take it into consideration

Haha I see,

Why would you not go for the Corsair though?
It has better performance by the looks of it?
What is it about Intel that makes it the better one?

Thanks StarBound,

But what about the performance comparison between the two SSD's?
Appreciate the help.

Hi there, I am looking to buy an SSD with a budget of under 2k. I need to use it for holding the O.S and programs, but will be installing a few games on it while I have a tight budget. (Later on I'll buy a separate SSD for games) I am currently looking at these: Corsair CSSD-F180GBGS-BK Force GS 180...

Hi all Here's a scenario: I have a single forest with multiple child domains as sites. The one site needs to have a Security Group for a few Sales' users who need to be able to log on to all Domain Controllers in the forest. That site also won't have a Global Catalog as I chose to run Universal Grou...

Now I'll just wait for Telkom to upgrade my line to 1Mbps and then get a free 1Mbps upgrade with MWEB

Yeah its about time.. Lets hope they live up to their promise

I have.. They first said they were checking for problems. (Couldn't find anything wrong on their side) So they referred me to telkom. Telkom said there are no problems. Iv noticed an increased latency in CSS and slower torrent downloads. Its been 3 weeks now

Iv been shaped by mweb. Just wondering for how long so that I can decide whether to change ISP's.
