nice to include the raptor for a 'real world' perspective on the Silicon Power/Samsung SSD's benches, im stunned by the way these two SSD's absofurkinlootely blow the Raptor out of the water, ive been thinking about getting a couple of Raptors for a while, scrub round that, as soon as these drives drop some more in price (which shouldnt be long ??) gimme gimme gimme, I WAAAAAAAAAAAN !!!!!!

what was it that guy that USED to be the Vice President of Fujitsu saying earlier in the week lol :O)

The heatoutput issues of the 4850/4870 isn't a generational thing of the chipset but more a problem with the BIOS/driver of the graphics card, 3rd party coolers do wonders for these cards and people have found that the fan in the default cooler is set to run too slow if you prefer cool.
However people that try to tweak their BIOS themselves found that it's a bit tricky since if you use a flash utility that's too old, or use the one that runs on windows, the update doesn't go well with disastrous results and it's advised to wait a bit for 'official' releases of fixes. (many companies are afraid to have customers update their graphics BIOS so they tend to hide such updates on their sites, hence my use of ')
