How thoughtful of you to give out the upgrade we need the most.

SSD's are the best upgrade you can give your computer if you don't already have one.

It works even if you don't have a Z68 board. All 64 or 128GB are used as cache. If you plug it in a SATA3 port it will give you speeds like that of a regular SSD while still retaining the capacity of your HDD.

Too bad, My F3 is doing good.

Is the Crucial M4 SSD as good as that Agility 3?

At that price those drives are a steal. Nice.

Well, OCZ has a new line of SSDs called Synapse. They SSDs that function as cache. http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-synapse-cache-sata-iii-2-5-ssd.html Got great reviews on a lot of sites.

Whichever you choose, give me the other one. Come it's Christmas. Stick with the Intel SSD. More storage would be better in the long run, as their speed is negligible when using them as boot drives.

For the casual user the motherboard's onboard sound would suffice. Audiophiles however prefer to have a dedicated soundcard to go with their high end speaker setup.

The X-540 speakers are better than the Z506 as well in my opinion.

Competition makes better products as well as lower prices. I hope AMD gets back up on top.

Price adjustment as well as better performance for BD please.
