Hi,

is there a user, who use a SSD (for games and windows)?

Are there some advantages or some tips for me?

I get soon a new SSD ~160GB.

And can I transfer all old files from my HDD to the SSD without reinstalling Windows 7 and my games? For example with an image?

I've never personally used SSD drives, however they provide an extreme speed bonus. You would probably have to reinstall GTA IV, and you if you wanted to move all of your basic windows folders (like System 32) over for a faster boot, etc, you would need a reinstall. Documents can be copied over just fine, but the My Documents link, and other "personal" folders like My Documents will have to be changed somewhere in the Windows options. An SSD is great for basic OS files, and game files. It may be best to reinstall Windows.

EDIT: It is also possible to clone a hard drive onto another drive. This works, but is not good if you have a large original "master" drive. If your main HDD has more than 160GB used, cloning will not work.

I'm not going to guarantee that it will, that's usually an internal system problem. But, a Windows reinstall should fix that. Maybe.

I forgot to say I get this "bug" only in EFLC. GTA IV works perfect with ~60FPS.

I had assumed it was a Windows bug, my bad. A reinstall of GTA should help nonetheless.

About the memory leak, try creating a file called commandline.txt in your GTA: ELFC/IV directory and paste this line in it:

-memrestrict 681574400

should fix the memory leakage.

Come on I'm not stupid! Already tried that. :-)
