anyway. This video isn't for bragging. when this was posted, good SSD's were rare and EXPENCIVE. Nowadays it's a completely a different matter. The video shows windows 7 on ssd before windows 7 was released. And it shows that old laptops gets new life with SSD. THAT'S THE POINT.

mugshotfun: no shit, sherlock? This is an old laptop with dual core and intel gen 1 and BETA OS. what did u expect? At work i'm running a dual xeon 4core setup (thats 16 logical cores with HT) and intel gen2 + 510 series and 16GB ddr3..... if it's a turf war you want ;).

My raptor with an cor i7 860 boots as fast if not a second faster.

@n0gar

That's an i7. This is is a video of an old laptop with Intel G1 SSD with a win7 pre-RC release. You can't compare apples with pears you know... ;)

@johnkristian & n0gar

Actually, you're both mistaken. Whether it's core i7, core 2 dual, or pentium III doesn't matter much when it comes to booting speed. Any old processor can handle the load. The fact that n0gar's HDD boots faster probably means he has a different OS with less programs starting up. That's all there is to it.

@tigonridge

Yup... that's also a big factor.

Why would you put such an expensive ssd in such an old laptop?

[foilpact]

Should get rid of the startup anims, Save another 3-5 seconds on boot...

im runnuing win 7 asus crosshair formula 4 amd 6x core at 3.7ghz x 6+=60gb ssd ocz,8gb2000mhz ddr3 ram...and much more,It boots twice as fast,....lol

I just dropped an 80gb Intel SSD into my HTPC and i was pretty damn impressed. the first time windows 7 rebooted after the initial install the little colors didn't even have time to come together in the middle. Now it takes about the same time (little less but not much) than this PC to get to the desktop now that i've got everything installed. I'm extremely happy with it. The next gen drives need to hurry the hell and come out. And be less expensive. lol

I have a couple d630's (company didn't want them anymore) and you may have just breathed new life into them! (and sold me on SSD's at the same time)

really awesome!

[Windows7UIRocks]

@foilpact although that is a great idea I like to know that my OS is booting.

[sbrideau2000]

I thought SSDs were faster than HDDs ... I have Windows 7 as well and it starts pretty much at the same speed.

@johnkristian You cant compare apples with piles of shit, because the shit is better :P

@lordofthespoons123 I have to agree that you must be a freakin' flaming moron to ask a question like this. First, the D630 is an excellent machine...very configurable...handles up to 8gb RAM, PCMCIA (for more USB's, for instance I have 6 total), fire-wire, can accommodate TWO internal hard drives, and bluetooth, SIM capability, smart card, and more. Second, any hard drive that you put into a computer can also be taken out and used in other computers.
