I'm putting together a new build, primary purpose will be "hackintosh" running OSX for everyday use. I am an "occasional" PC gamer, so I will be dual booting windows on the system.
I've done extensive research on SSDs, and I have concluded I will clearly feel the difference in my everyday tasks. I will be buying an OCZ Vertex, as I feel the technology is too young for an investment as considerable as one of the Intel drives. I have not found a definitive answer to this question in my research, so I am asking for advice based on your experiences.
My question is simple: in your own experiences, would it be worth it to purchase a second SSD for my windows partition? I already have an older 74gb Raptor (old 8mb cache version) which I am considering using. It seems to me that since all I will be doing is playing TF2/L4D and an occasional other game, an SSD would not be worth the cost for my "gaming" partition. When my Raptor was new, I always was first to load, which resulted in me waiting on everyone else who had slower drives. Would the advantages of an SSD over my old Raptor be worth the ~$120 cost on a partition used solely for games?
Thanks in advance!
