But Telstar,

I would go for OCZ vertex 60GB or intel x25 80GB (It only differs 50 euros)
W7 is free till october and useable till march.(decide then)

Give it a try, it works stable here. (if you don't mess around with drivers)
And tweak to dead that sh*t as in all/off. services,device manager, logs (lots of logs in W7) all of.
Like to know what you (and others) think of it.

Never liked Vista anyway, hope that MS (finally) gives us a decent HTPC platform.
Only 3 months ago I went out for Vista Ultimate x64 (what i think was a rip off)
New SP2 should come out in december 2008 then april and still isn't there.
(and what is a SP anyway, a bundeld set of updates, what about new features or making things really better)
Making lots of poeha about W7, PEOPLE make a Vista SP2 first, lots of folks spend 200 to 300 euro for Vista already (MF'rs!)
And still not stable.
What we need is a stable platform to work on (if it was'nt for the audio I would still be on XP)
As foundation for our HTPC. (starting to get a little crazy here, several craches no decent means for backup)
Just want to install a (my) clean image, insted of install Vista and doing the settings every (fckng) time manually.
Didn't PC's were inventid for automatisation.
We got to have decent backup's because, how do you want to flash your SSD's then?

I, Mean can it get worse?
OS that tends to crash and cant do back-ups.
money well spend, guess not!?!?

So it's out of MY system by having said this.

Do you have "Copy to XX Drive" (or whatever it's called) ticked ?
(only asking because that would be the most difficult situation, but presumeably the best for SQ))

I think Peter did his job well
What big plans do you have for us, Peter !
How is progress on DAC.
And can you explain maybe, why (how come) W7 sound so different then vista.
Why DOES it even sounds different
Where comes it down too.
Because it sounded also good on a normal HDD.

Glad SeVeReD is doeing well also,
There are not that many who have a SSD for XX on this forum, I guess.
Telstar almost.

Yes, you could be right, but the difference is hugh, with Vista on SSD sounds very cr*ppy.
So, thats why I choose W7
Find out for your self.
I ain't that happy with the soundcard, but rather wait for Peter's super-duper NOS1 DAC.
Instead of investing in new card.

A new pc should work fine in W7 (which didnt recognize my scsi gear).

I didnt post about a test I did with my infrasonic quartet, but i can say that it sounds amazingly good for what's inside and the cost. I cannot remove it from my boyfriend computer, though. He hated the sound bugs of the dmx6.

So, I have to buy something for the music pc.
I have spare the dmx6fire that i took out but the drivers are too buggy in vista (and i bet in w7 too), so that will go to the best offerer and i'll either get another Quartet or an Essence (that will thereafter replace the x-fi in my gaming pc), more likely the second option because i'm really curious to check it. Oh, i could also try a juli@.

I have used vista since the RC1 and the 32bit version has been always rock solid. the 64bit instead took several months to become stable, but close to SP1 release it is. Sp2 will probably put it in the same league of W7.

On my gaming computer, Vista x64 is faster than W7. But I believe the reason is that the former sits on a 15k scsi raid, while the poor W7 was put (and still is) on a plain sata disk of decent performance.
What's the point of all this? I'd never install Vista or W7 on a sata platter disk, period. They dont have the multitaskign speed (IOPS) to make it work smooth.

I have the RC (both 32 and 64 bit, from official MS downloads and with beta keys), so I will be fine til next june or whatever. But I'll replace with the RTM version for sure, IF they actually did more improvements to the audio stack.

I have the build 7077 (i think) on this pc and it doesnt sound any better than Vista, with the same x-fi that you have. Probably you have a different version of drivers in W7. I dont plan to mess again with install to put the RC in this computer, I will directly on the new music pc that will be built this summer.

Now, to answer the first question, from my dealer the price difference between the 60g vertex and the 80g intel is close to 100€ than to 50. I dont remember when are scheduled the next intel price drops, but i think together with 32nm nand and bigger capacity drives, so likely Q4 (too late).

Besides, I gave up on imaging and backup of the OS. I just do a format and reinstall. Of course the OS always resides on a separate DISK, while documents and personal settings are on another one, that is never formatted and backuped often.
You could try norton ghost, but I dont think will work either.

Some very nice soundcards,

Have to re-consider my current set-up.
Maybe try one of these in near future ?
But there are problems with the Asus Essence as you have read (on this forum).
Maybe try the  ESI - Juli@.
The Infrasonic Quartet is harder to get here.

Can you play 24/96 files with your X-fi, Telstar?
Because mine doesn't

  ....My Gallery size is up to almost 20GB .... and I haven't even organized everything onto galleries yet.  I imagine that when I do that this summer, the gallery folder on the SSD could easily top 40GB ...  

Hi Peter,
There must be another way to add all the coverart to the Gallery (I hope). I am thinking to buy a SSD memory. So 32 GB SSD becomes 64, ...128..... All the music with coverart is on the external drives. I suppose for browsing purposes you put the coverart in the Gallery but...Is it possible to make thumpnails of this CoverArt to reduce the size of the Gallery. 40GB of Gallery size....how many records are that ????

Hi Johan,

Making thumbnails of it is not useful because of various reasons hard to explain. But 40GB ? nea
My 12000 albums occupy 20GB with relatively much coverart per album (of large size). So I would not worry too much ...

Ya, maybe I've added more albums already than I thought... but just under 30gb (especially the way I've been starting to scan whole cd inserts hehe) may be what it will be like this summer.
