From all the research I see is that the SSD are great for faster boot times and longer battery life in notebooks they do almost nothing for games as most of the gaming information is stored in the RAM
when gaming.
When the prices come down I will look at a 250 or 300 gb drive.
They are very fast but there still some concern about wear as there is a finite number of time you can write/erase the cells before they lose the ability to store information.
They are a heck of a lot better than they were a couple of years ago and they will eventually replace
standard hard drives in the future but they still have a ways to go.

Yes, the price is killer. But it is the single best improvement you can make to any modern system.
Save pennies, ask for christmas gifts, get a small one as a boot/game drive and keep your music/pics elsewhere if you have to.
BTW: I've never had an Intel fail yet, and lost two OCZ that they were very easy to replace. And yes, while I am a Mac nerd I have Windows machines - just use Windows 7, turn off Defrag, and you're gold.

Now I just have to convince myself to buy it.

If your MB does RAID, you can get 2 120's for about $80 cheaper than 1 240 and stripe them as I plan to.
Of course it's increased risk...but thats why we have backup software.

Got my 2nd drive and restored with both as RAID-0
