M912M N270 + Kingston SSDnow V + Windows 7 : Boot and usage speeds

** I made a mistake : its SNV425S264GB SSDnow **V** 64Gb

*** The way to use this clip is to compare the 2 boots with similar apps that run. Since everyone has different autostart apps/gadgets. Also get the FEEL. ***

System :
Gigabyte M912M netbook Atom N270
2Gb DDR2
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
on USB : Originall HDD, 4 port USB :Keboard, Mouse,
TVtuner in expresscard ( AverMedia H968)
mini PCI-E Crystal HD bcm700015
Internet - RJ45. BT - On , Wi-Fi - off
Windows Aero at max settings
those slow the boot-up/usage a bit. (1st boot is tad slower because win switched to local screen) . I get like ~15% background CPU usage.

Windows Experience Index : CPU 2.2 , RAM 4.4, Aero 2.0, Gaming Gfx 3.0, HDD 6.5

I wanted to show a ordinary usage of SSD, so I just took a video...

In my view SSD does improve user experience, but a FASSST SSD is useless vs CPU bottleneck , so why overspend.
I had Intel V 40Gb SSD and this Kingston feels a tad faster.
40Gb = 37.4Gb is enough for Windows and apps (flies on 4Ghz system) . You don't use heavy apps in a netbook, so 64Gb is plenty , but I have external 160Gb that goes with it, soo..

I hope this review helps.
