God I hope those come down in price soon. 

All of the demos I've seen have been crazy fast with SSD's.

Seconded. When I was looking at buying a new laptop a couple months ago, it was something like $1000 extra for a 70 GB SSD, or $100 for 320 GB regular drive.

It's too bad that won't speed up my internet connection, though. Then I'd maybe consider it worth it.

SSD's are mainly used for OS drive since it is not really worth your money to put all your data on SSD's

A 32 GB is only around $100 these days

And then get two 1TB's in raid for the rest of your data and you are good to go

I guess that depends on what "daily" tasks are. Loading programs assuming they are installed on the SSD, yes. But realistically, how much time do people spend waiting for programs to load oppose to actually using the programs?

SSD is great, but honestly, I prolly spend less than 1% of my computer time waiting for stuff to laod, the other 99%, I spend actually doing something. The only exception is maybe the internet, but I guess I have to wait for the US to force internet companies to stop screwing their customers. I wish we had fast internet like other countries, damn US internet with low speeds and bandwidth caps!

Whoa, here in Oz, the best price I could find on a 120gb SSD is AUD $435.00 for an OCZ V2 SATA 2.5, or $487.00 for a OCZ 120gb SATA II 2.5.  Until all SD apps support access to skins on a storage drive/partition other than the OS drive, the minimum sized SSD would have to be 120gb, to provide enough room for skins and apps,etc,

Alternatively, a 250 + SSD, which surely would accomodate the lot, is upwards 0f AUD $922.00, usually around the grand + mark. Would be nice, but that's some pretty expensive hardware and but a far-away dream.

Maybe in the next lifetime.

Yeah, even when you take into consideration the AUD - USD echange rate, currently at 79c in the US $.  I've been saying for ages that we pay far too much for PC related items here in Oz. That's largely due to importer/supplier excess profiteering... for example, instantly hiking up prices on old stock when the Oz dollar falls against the greenback, and being rather tardy to pass on the savings on new stock purchased at a lower price when the AUD improves.

It stinks, and because of the GST (Good and Services Tax), the government will do nothing about price control to help ease the burden... the bigger the retail price the bigger their chop @ 10c in the dollar on every dollar spent.  I guess we're just going to have to tolerate/grin and bear it....

.... besides, I dunno that I wanna move! It'd mean having to live with foreigners.

Aw man that sucks . is the OCZ one that bad and stutters?

I got the " Intel X25-M 80GB SSD"

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167005)

I would suggest getting that one (or if you can afford it) get the 160GB version from Intel on the hard-drive. I plan on getting another 80GB one soon and slapping them in RAID .

Still can't beat a Mac running Snow Leopard Brad.
