Had to order a desktop...
Intel Core i7 930 (@2.8 Ghz)
12GB SDRAM
2TB HDD
Ati Radeon 6870 1GB Video
Bluray/DVD/CD RW
24in widescreen display
Thoughts on an Solid State Drive? Worth it? Configuration above too bottlenecked to take advantage?
That's a lot of RAM. I haven't used a Solid State drive at home yet and only a few at work and never running the OS off of one....which I would assume would be the main advantage? I don't know a lot about them yet.
