| ATI Catalyst 9.9 - long time to load? Does this 9.9 driver take a very long time to load? Or is it just me. I update every month and this one had hard drive activity for a very long time before the full reboot. What is it doing?

If it would have loaded slow, I sure would have noticed. Also all seems to work ok......so far. Now to the SSD, The price looks good. The drive Crucial I really don't know much about. For me its OCZ, ya pay a little more. But the support is great.... I think you'd be fine with the Crucial drive.

It loaded fine for me. I just loaded it on two different computers. Both had a good deal of writing during shut-down. When I make my final decision, I will definitely look at OCZ again. I have time because I will wait for a OEM Win 7. With OCZ they make fast SSD drives and slower SSD drives. The ones you have have great specs. I will just get a small one at first and only use it for the OS, not much data.

The Vertex is way fast, the others maybe 10% or less faster, plus more costly.

| Re: ATI Catalyst 9.9 - long time to load? Yeah their SSD line is quite large. In reality all their SSD drives are fast, you just pick your speed and price.
