am I barking up the

When I replaced a traditional hard disk in my 5 year old laptop
with
a
SSD I noticed a faster start up but for day to day use no overall
difference in speed.

Hmm! that hasn't been my experience. I've changed several laptops to
SSDs
and *everything* is much snappier.

Only with the laptops that dont have enough physical memory.

Bull****.

We'll see...

My desktop has 32GB and the SSD still makes an enormous difference.

Not to anything except the time to start from a full reboot and
with launching apps that are very disk intensive when starting.


Or when in use.


There are **** all of those that most use much.

Anyone with even half a clue only reboots every few months and doesnt
close apps at all.


I only have open the apps I'm using.


More fool you.

It's tidier.


Its stupid.

Why have more clutter on the taskbar?


Makes no difference what so ever to the taskbar when you use
that properly as where you start apps that you use much.


I use about 20 programs, and about 5 in one day. Stupid to leave all 20
open.


Not when you have enough physical memory so the system doesnt swap.

Only a fool like you closes them so it has to wait for them
to open again, particularly with the slowest opening apps.
