I would honestly love to see you in your ADD induced haze while you wait for my machine to boot up EQ. With that machine, I am wondering what "long load times" means exactly

But yeah, SSD can help a LOT. If you're buying the ram, get the SSD instead or get it first. Anything that "loads" will be effected by your hard drive. Anything that is graphics or lag related (lots of toons in a zone) is RAM/Vid Card related.
