I got an Intel 320 series 120GB SSD for the F15 install. I wouldn't have believed how much of a difference an SSD could make if I didn't experience the change myself. There were just some things that the system used to be slow at (like starting firefox, booting, etc.) It now zips through those. While SSD's are expensive per GB, you really don't need to put anything other than the base OS and /home on it. The Intel 320-series 120GB SSD is under $200. Even if the price drops in half in a year, you'd have been using a slow system for another year just to save $100. -wolfgang -- g+: https://plus.google.com/114566345864337108516/about -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
