Thanks. Funny thing, I was just looking at hybrids when you posted LOL. Anyone tried these?

Edit: Testing shows the SSD part of the hybrid is twice as fast as a 7200 rpm and half as fast as an SSD. I have 10000 rpm Velociraptors which will not be as fast as this, but I don't think the difference will be that much.

I think you can move only Clod files to SSD and place a simlink alias or whatever it is called to Steam folder. I think there was a thread about this it the tech forums. Also there is a link on how to use simlink with RAM-drive in the FPS guide linked in my sig (8 ).

this might be a cheap solution to simlinking and moving you page file off the HD(Provided you have a mini pcie slot) $29

Steam Mover: http://www.traynier.com/software/steammover will do all the hard work of moving it for you, worked perfectly for me.

Thanks worked like a charm.

Weird thing is with the SSD... still stutters but, loads faster and higher fps. I know....it was supposed to stop stutters and do nothing for fps.
