Think my PC is dying, back in august 2008 when I bought this rig I got 16000-ish 3DMarks in 3DMark 06. Decided to run it again today and uhm..got 9309 3DMarks..

That. Is. Not. Good.

i don't really have a problem with it but it's a shame that apple are alienating their original core userbase (i.e. during window's dominating years) in turn of the massive influx of new casual users that they have. kind of like the software equivalent of the pc gaming industry...

so bf2s:

i'm really bad at closing tabs on my desktop, and i normally stream/run like 10-15 youtube videos, movies, docus, midget pornos etc. at once, and i'm loathed to close them in case i want to watch them again (particularly the long ones) at any point in the next week. except that my desktop doesn't agree. it gets slow as SHIT (on all browsers) when i have like, say, 10-15 flash (?) driven videos going at once. i've got an i5 oc'd to 4Ghz, 4Gb DDR3 yada-yada. but i'm guessing it's my standard SATA hard-drive that's letting me down here and causing the pile-up slowdown.

my question is: would a SSD fix this? considering that if i bought one it wouldn't be an expensive high-capacity one - would it be worth it? especially if i'm streaming/caching like 15-20Gb of video in my browser alone. or should i just learn to close some fucking tabs?

isn't your internet good enough to just open the video up and stream it if you wanna watch it again?
