Holy crap! Can you tolerate a latency of 6us?

SSDs are the best "single component" update you can do to a Vista or
Win7 system. When you give Win7 the right amount of memory (4GB for
x86, 6GB for x64 is what I recommend) and put the operating system,
swap file and program files on the SSD, it takes a lot of bottleneck
out of WIndows. Prior to the latest Service Pack, I had a system that
had 0us latency as measured by DPCLat. After SP1, it now measures 6us.
Granted I test a lot of parts or this function but this one is a winner!

Is there any significant advantage to going with a SSD for Flex
applications? I really don't see a lot of HD usage under normal
operation.
It is a fairly recent box with an Intel Core 2 CPU, Win XP, and is
pretty
much devoted to my F3000. PSDR 1.18.6 (I know, I plan on upgrading
soon),
HRD + DM780 with the glue apps. The browser gets used very little;
downloading something or watching DX-Sherlock during the 6m season.
CPU usage is less than 20%, and DPCs rarely get much above 100us.
I don't notice a current speed limitation, but maybe there is something
that I'm overlooking.
They are still quite expensive, in terms of $/GB compared to the HDDs.
Any comments appreciated.
