ssd drive

is it has good to put etouch on a small ssd and connect a 2nd sata drive with music files
or do you get a faster result with a larger drive with everything loaded on that will there
be any difference
its a matter of spending £40 or £160 at this stage anybody clued up with ssd and whats
the best types

I use an OCZ SSD Drive and it really improves boot up time and loading time for E-Touch. The music is on a seperate SATA drive and it all works fine. To get the best from SSD you need windows 7 but i have noticed a vast improvement on XP, It should be much better with windows 7.

yeah ive noticed some stuff about xp re ssd but my setup is not compatible with 7 so if it gives a good
responce and boot up time then thats cool

I run a OCZ SSD in my juke running win 7 ult and it is damn fast. At present i have the music on the ssd but changing my setup soonish. this also runs XBMC as well.

Also regarding hardware for win 7 you will be very surprised at just how much older hardware will run 7. I had it running on an old amd athlon xp2500+ barton core with 2BG ram. Apart from a few minor issues it ran flawlessly.
