[WriteLog] Solid State Drive ?

[Richard Thorne]

Grant,

I have a new pc with an I7 processor, 8g of memory and a 256g ssd. The 
pc takes a little less than 20 seconds to boot up which is real nice.  
I'm sure every thing else runs faster, but the most noticeable 
improvement is the boot up speed.
