Help me out here please, SSD question [View all]
I wasn't aware that SSD drives have moving parts. From reading this it appears they do.
I'm wanting to put an SSD in my old dell dimension 4700 computer to install the operating system on, hopefully to speed things up a tad.
I'm not sure which one I need. I know I have a SATA drive now. Will any of the newer SATA Solid State Drives (SATA2 or 3) work with my old system?
I'm not wanting to spend a lot of money because if I do that I'd rather buy a new computer but I really don't want to do that. This old box I have seems to work fine, I'd just like to speed it up a tad. I'm running a 3 gig pentium 4 with 2 gig of ram.
Any help in directing/educating me will be appreciated
