SSD gaming question!

[vjicecool]

Will it be different if you play video games on macbook pro while having an SSD.

i have a 15' 4gb ram and intel 2.0 i7 2011 early model with 1 gb video card

i would like to know your opinion guys!

Levels and the game will load faster. And the computer in general becomes more reactive.

I would have to agree. It will have faster reaction time and your computer will have an overall faster response. I love my SSD, I will never go back to a regular hard drive.

Crucial M4 is a nice option. It's cheap too.

Love SSDs, and the M4 is a great choice.

But just to be clear, it will have 0 effect on your actual in-game performance. Levels will load faster, your computer will perform better all around, but it won't make games perform better in terms of frame rates or in-game experience.
