Why do people keep testing the boot times? The interesting test is multiple simultaneous writes, which tend to choke the system. Some SSDs choke, others don't. Show a test of multiple writes at once while using a browser. Ok we get it, SSDs have great read performance. Why do people keep testing the boot times?

Now is kind of awkward that I want to use wireless N. But it doesn't support with this model. I am wondering is there anyway I can change my motherboard and the wireless card also? thank you!

But it doesn’t support with this model.
