Think that will cover 1200 square feet that is 2 floors? I think the 2 floors is what kills me cause the house isn't that big.

First review I read said I got better signal than Linksys WRT54G which is what I have
For $30 it is worth a shot.

can anyone give opinions on the intel ssd's. There about $35 more than any other, I've read they're supposed to be more reliable. Just wondering what I would be getting for that extra cash.

Did they leave out the sandisk extreme and kingston hyperX 3k?

Those are two of the best Sandforce drives on the market with the 830

yep. here is the reasoning:
quote:

The hierarchy chart below relies on information provided by our Storage Bench v1.0, as it ranks performance in a way that reflects average daily use for a consumer workload. This applies to gamers and home office users. The chart has been structured so that each tier represents a 10% difference in performance. Some rankings are educated guesses based on information from testing a model at a different capacity or a drive of similar architecture. As such, it is possible that an SSD may shift one tier once we actually get a chance to test it. Furthermore, SSDs within a tier are listed alphabetically. There are several drives that we're going to intentionally leave out of our hierarchy list. Enterprise-oriented SLC- and 512 GB MLC-based SSDs are ignored due to the extreme price they command (and the difficult we have getting samples in from vendors). Furthermore, SSDs with a capacity lower than 60 GB are left off because of the budget nature of that price range.
In order to simplify the landscape, we're going to omit brand names for those vendors leveraging SandForce. There are simply too many to list. At a given capacity, performance breaks down based on memory type, and this is their order of performance, from highest to lowest. We're making an exception with Intel's SSD 330 because it's special case of a SandForce-based SSD that runs with reduced performance specs. The 60 GB SSD 520 is also being called out on its own because it offers performance somewhat higher than the norm. )

best SSD for the money, march ed

cant hotlink the actual chart since its not an img like the performance graphs.

If you're looking for a good 120gb one that's not expensive, I would go with the Sandisk extreme, Kingston hyperX, or OCZ vertex 4

what part of lazy didnt you catch?
ive got a hyperX in my laptop and a 840 in my desktop. both perform admirably.
i probably need to look to upgrade the desktop to a larger drive so i can install more games on it, but for now that must wait. my new gpu comes in tomorrow

I've got the extreme, have had no problems with it after a year. Plus I got it for $70 brand new

I've always wanted to splurg and get a 512gb SSD, but I cant make myself drop $400 on an drive
