mtron ssd & tiger

[Mr_P]

Just to re-itterate....

YOU DONT NEED LEOPARD TO USE SSD OR PLAYBACK HD CONTENT!!!!

Tiger works just fine with both - disable spotlight by putting the drives into 'privacy' - and disable dashboard. Turn off all power-saving etc.

If you already have Tiger - stick with it - dont bother upgrading. Theres no benefit. X1900XT is fine on 2007 Macs
Would recommend 2G Ram (min) for 2007 Macs

If you have Leopard - stick with it - dont downgrade!
Nvidia Ge-force 8800GT is fine on 2008 Macs
Would recommend 4G Ram (min) for 2008 Macs

Re 7500 vs 7000 SSD - theres negligible difference in performance - save your money and go with the 7000 if its available.

Why is that? Have you run into any problems with 2 gigs on these machines?

i have never seen any improvements made by adding memory- beyond that required by the operating system-

if someone would like to offer some real information on why they keep suggesting this - i would welcome it.

I know why! I know why! there are systm in italy with 16 giga ram ....

because the reseller made money on the ram they sell to stupid clients that's why most of the machine here have 6 or 8 or even 16 giga ram " it make it run faster ... " so they say .

Ah ... don't forget tough only two sata disks sold at the same price of ssd ...

MTRON ssd - do improve things enormously - over any sata or scsi disc.

Prices for SSD have fallen very quickly in the last year - and will probably fall even faster this year.
