tsJensen.com - Windows 7 Repave Checklist

Monday, July 27, 2009

In anticipation of repaving my Vista x64 machine with Windows 7 after the MSDN release on August 6, I’ve prepared my wish list of hardware upgrades I’d like to do at the same time I pave the machine with the new OS.

Should the family financial officer (FFO) decline to approve my purchase request, I’ll at least sneak in the SSD purchase.

Update (new list, bigger appetite):

Qty	Description	Price
2	SUPER TALENT 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333	$ 739.98
1	ASUS Z8NA-D6C Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5500 ATX Dual Intel Xeon 5500 Series	259.99
2	Intel Xeon E5520 Nehalem 2.26GHz LGA 1366 80W Quad-Core	765.98
1	SUPER TALENT MasterDrive SX SAM56GM25S 2.5" 256GB SATA II MLC Internal SSD	629.99
Total		$ 2,395.94

What plans do you have for your Windows 7 upgrade?

Drool….

I'll just be adding a new Intel X25-M SSD. Read the reviews--the Intel SSD's completely destroy all others.

I'll take just "slightly slower" for more than double the storage for the same price, especially when just slightly slower is still WAY faster than my mechanical drives. (See Tom's review.)
