1156 = last gen core i3 i5's, meaning sandy bridge won't fit into those motherboads. don't go recommending incompatible parts, friend. he'll be stuck with a motherboard and a processor that won't go together and then the hassle of refunds...

Sorry, meant 1155. I've been away from pc's for a bit, mostly caught back up but I get the two sockets confused.
I'm less concerned with Sandy as I am with Ivy Bridge. 1155 is the socket they're sticking with, and current boards *could* be compatible with a bios flash.

haha i've been saying this for years. solid state memory generally has a lifespan of 1,000,000 writes. It can read infinitely, but begins to degrade after too many writes. I had a thumb stick that I was running a copy of linux for work from so I could literally take my work home with me, died after about a month of use. That's assuming solid state memory is relatively equal. Regardless, this experience is what shied my away from ssd's. viva platters.
