Why would you get an SF SSD? Much better off with an M4 or an Octane or something.

Having said that, I think Corsair in particular (not sure about others) have managed to iron out a lot of the bugs.

Maybe because I got it for free?

Well that's as good as reason as any...

Just got the new motherboard and got everything installed. Kind of annoyed that I have to go through the long process of installing Windows Vista, upgrading to SP1, then updating to Windows 7, but it'll be worth it.

Um, you know you can clean install from an upgrade DVD, right? (Google, easy find)

I tried once, and it wouldn't let me. :|

Don't enter the license key while you're installing; install it without a key, and then activate via phone any time within the 30 day grace period.

Yeah, I got it activated last night. Silly automated activation assistant. "How many times have you activated this key?"

"... Once? :X"

Also I just got my new modem this evening after work. Got it activated and working, and I'm happy to say all of my connection issues were caused by that old modem. I had forgotten how long I Had it. (6 years, for those wondering)

Dropped my connection randomly, and my speed had been degraded to something like 8mbps instead of the normal 25mbps I pay for.

I just always say "zero" and it's let me install it four times in a row now. =p

I'm on my 9th different motherboard on this windows install.
0 is the key :)
