Samsung 830 to fast?

hhhd1 your one smart cookie. I was trying a program called FancyCache - Virtual Cache for Volumes/Disks and every-time I play with it I get those readings. I allocated 2GB of ram to the SSD but I have 16GB so no loss really.

Need Advice On Cheap Card

Sheesh, I can't believe that my other machine with a 3770K which has HD4000 which I'm using is better then the card I want to buy for the Internet machine I'm going to put together. The Mobo I'm buying isn't equipped to use the 2500K intergrated graphics so I need a Pcie card.

Just curious as to why the HD 6450 would be better then the HD 5450 just for cruising on the internet. I am video card ignorant on this issue so forgive me if it's a dumb question.

Well which parts would you choose to make a descent water cooling setup? The Swiftech isn't really a kit, it's parts put together from a website that sells tons of water cooling parts.
