Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
So I have a 60GB mushkin callisto enroute. it will be here in about 3 days. I just formatted last night because of a mobo swap. Im wondering if it is a good idea to image my current install and image it onto the SSD when it comes or should i just simply do another fresh format?
 
From the guides I've seen at OCZ, they usually recommend a fresh install. I tried this myself cloning from a HDD to a SSD and found doing a fresh install yields better performance.
 
Image HDD to SSD = not a very good idea performance wise.
Image SSD to SSD = alright. Atleast for me anyway.
