what is my next improvement???

Yeah but it is sata3 and i don't think my chip set can take that.

I don't really know either, I do know a friend I can ask when I get a moment. I am a bit dodgy on the vertex 2 as there have been so many problems with it. If I buy a v2 now, will it be the one that lacks space and speed or will it be the one that has been improved??? I would like to get the corsair linked earlier if you are right about the sata 2 thing otherwise, I want to get the mushkin but i can't get it below about 100 uk pounds (60gb version). Anyways, thanks for all your help, it has been much appreciated.

I think I will buy a force gt as it is a fairly good price, and when I get a sata 3 mobo, it will be used properly. I think it is also fast enough to stay with me for a few years (will take a few years before it's speed is completely outdated).
