The benchmarks are for SSD-drives that take the place of hard-drives -- not motherboard attached ramdisks. -l
You're right, I'm going for SATA3 SSD (it is in the mail from Amazon already, a Crucial 250Gb). I know more RAM is faster. More RAM is also as expensive as the SSD. But the SSD will also speed up all things involving disk I/O, so I hope the general improvement will be no less significant than from a RAM upgrade. Besides, upgrading RAM can be tricky. I have a 2013 motherboard, it has a couple of DDR3 DIMMs running at 1600 MHz with a 1.65V power voltage. The modern DDR3 DIMMS are all DDR3L, so specced at dual voltage 1.5/1.35V - I am not at all sure how they will coexist with 1.65V. And then I'll have to get rid of it all as it becomes obsolete eventually - the CPU is pretty basic, a Pentium G2120 - while a 250Gb SSD is unlikely to become fully obsolete for much longer. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
