Awesome booting in 5 seconds is nice

I miscalculated on my HDD and DVDRW drive I was planning on keeping and using and didn't notice there wasn't an IDE interface on my motherboard. Oh wells

I'm gonna order a Samsung 830 64 gb one soon. I heard the OCZ ones have a high failure rate compared to Intel ones.

isnt that because of all the flooding over there in India? they say computer parts especially hard drives are gonna be pricey for the next year or so until they can reopen those flooded factories.

Ya, Philipines I think. Hard drives are not going to come down. They will stay high long enough for SSDs to become so close in price that there is no reason not to buy one.
