>> "there is no such thing as a computer that's too fast." Right, but my point was that these days it's more likely to be the HDD, or network that's the bottleneck most of the time. My Macbook pro is absolutely never CPU bound. It could have half the CPU power and I wouldn't really particularly care. Half the CPU power but SSD would be a massive performance gain.
