=P...Anytime momo, working on a vid for Mark right now...Once I get everything done, I'll start building a list and a similar thread...It's impossible to tell how the game will perform considering it's only in korean beta, but the list I'm going to make will offer the best performance possible for the price lists I'll be adding. I'll also keep it up to date so no one picks up older hardware =P...Hopefully I'll be able to get a sticky for it ^.^.

Amica: ^_^...I don't bite..hard..Mwhahah! lol. But yes, SSD = Solid State Disk (aka Solid State Drive). Basically, we are eliminating the need for magnetic storage technologies as we are all on them today. The biggest bottleneck in computers is the hard drive, so it will decrease load/search times DRASTICALLY. If you work on a SSD, you will literally not be able to go back to a standard drive. Downside, they are SO EXPENSIVE!... a 32gb SSD is around 500-600 dollars! >_<...which is hard to even fathom, considering you can get two 1tb magnetic drives for the same price O_O.

But yea, if my prior post sounded hostile, It didn't mean to be...It's just I've grown up on hardware based forums. No offense to Harrison by saying this, it's almost impossible for it not to sound like an insult...But inaccurate information extremely hurts the consumer. I've dealt with many individuals giving bad hardware recommendations that end up costing more, and don't perform as well...only ending up for someone needing to upgrade right when they purchase their rig since it isn't doing what they want it too. So I always get a bit heated during these scenarios, so sorry if it sounds hostile. I do have to commend Harrison though, he was attempting to be thorough, which is great considering I hate cookie cutter recommendations...But he just doesn't have the experience for it...Which is completely fine, considering learning computer technology in the current market, future market, and overall understanding of how every component effects another in every scenario isn't an easy task...I've spent years learning what I know.
