been running Mint OS (debian) on my 250GB 850 EVO, honestly haven't noticed a real difference in doing stuff from my Windows 2x7200rpm RAID0 HDD setup (other than the obvious OS bits) but I don't really hardcore play uber intensive games much these days anyway

The only difference you'll notice in games is loading times like switching zones in WoW, or loading a map in a fps game.

Lots of games stream world textures from the HDD as they are loaded into view distance etc. You will see massive improvements in that as well

Put a 240 in my laptop and upped the RAM. ****ing screaming now.

got my 970 in today, HUGE ****ing difference when gaming, the smoothness when moving is very very very noticeable. i guess thats FPS lol.

;) :D

Does anyone know where I can get a rail kit for a hard drive for my laptop?
