Thanks, good advice Dark Mantis, I have begun trolling through the forum. Great members with great advice.
Aussie Alan, it's funny, but my existing system using a EVGA 760 classified board has two SSD's and the RevoDrive X2, before I pass it to my son, I will steal one of the SSD's to use exactly as you suggest. Your advice, my gain and his loss, though he still ends up with my RevoDrive. Unfortunately the RevoDrive 3 X2 will give me better speed at higher queue depths but slow down my boot by about 7 – 10 seconds. I was considering maxing out the memory at 16 GB but my experience with EVGA motherboards was that it limited overclocking, maybe that is not the case with the gigabyte mobo?
