The thing is that I'm a budget gamer and look for best value for money or rather price for performance value not just the best overpriced tech out there, so i voted with the value mentality.
Try readyboost.
My wife has a 240gig ssd and 1tb for storage.
I have 2x500gig hdd and a 1tb hdd in raid for storage and my os is on a 250gig hdd, we both have 4th gen i5's. I've got 2 old 16 gig usb3 flash drives so i popped them in and dedicated them to readyboost.
I've had the 100% disk...
