I feeling like spending some dosh on my computer. I have Windows 7 64 bit and 8Gb memory. C (80Gb) & D (64Gb) drives are SSD, C drive contains "bare minimum" i.e. windows and program files. D drive contains moderate sized regularly accessed data (outlook files, My DOcs etc). All other files held on hot swap SATA drives, USB drives and network storage, all backed up to USB drives. I have plenty of storage!
Not too keen to run a third 5 1/4 drive permanently as I'm trying to keep power consumption low.
I don't have many apps which demand a great amount of memory, and swapfiles are supposedly bad news for SSD drives so I don't have any page files.
System is running fine, time for a tinker though.
Soooo...
I could upgrade C drive to larger SSD for a little over £100 - space is a bit limited. Could then use redundant SSD for swap file until it breaks.
Or I could stick another 8Gb of memory in for around £45. In my mind this means I'll never reach full memory usage so no need for swapfile.
Any logic problems with the above? Which would you recommend?
Or I could waste the money that's burning a hole on something else...any suggestions?
