Intel believes high end machines need SSD

Intel advises its customers that the high end system from Intel should have both SSD and HDD. For $1100 or more Intel propagates that a user should get Core i7 920, X58 motherboard 4GB memory, even that would be hard for Nehalem system that usually feature 3GB or 6GB. X25-M Intel´s mainstream SSD drive, 750GB HDD.

The same system should come with Vista Premium 64-bit and BD ROM or DVD RW. Intel admits that the graphics should come from discrete people but it doesn’t advice if that should come from Nvidia or ATI.

We also believe that an SSD drive and HDD drive strategy makes perfect sense, as the SSD can run the OS and games while the mechanical drive can take care of storage.



I've been telling people to use the faster HDD for os/apps/games for years, we have been saying it here too, Intel must be watching us here and copying our ideas

well what we all ways advise is that you put the OS/games/apps on HDD1 which would be a SSD then a slower bigger drive for storage, in such case you are not installing the game on a different drive then the OS.

however if you wanted to, you can install games or apps in any location you like, but after that if all locations are not present then your app/games wont' work.

for example, your OS is on HDD1 and you installed your games on HDD2. HDD1 dies for whatever reason but HDD2 is running just fine, but your game will no longer work cause its info is still on the OS's registry which was on HDD1.
