Yeah. Instead of wasting your time mulling over SSD vs traditional, how about trashing Vista and installing Windows 7 first.
I have considered it before, but I couldn't see myself spending money on a new OS. With Win 8 "around" the corner, I may skip an OS before I upgrade.

One more question from a "low tech" computer user: I assume that the most limiting part (in terms of speed) of my hard drive system with an SSD might be the ATA controller. Device manager currently shows two controllers:

* Intel(R) ICH8M 3 port Serial ATA Storage Controller - 2828
* Intel(R) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2850

What the fastest SSD I could install with these controllers? SATA I, II or even III?

Thanks for all your replies.

Cheers,

7 7 7 7
