I love how your hard drive is the fastest thing in your system.

There is a point to that. The hard drive is where everything starts. The speed increase on my system is x10. Everything I do is Instant, I can even play Crysis on High unlike some of my other builds "with better specs all around" and can only play Crysis on Medium.

I agree that hard drive is one of the most important parts of the system behind the CPU. I'm waiting for SSDs to come down in price

I just put this one into my XPS 730 yesterday -

Newegg.com - OCZ Agility Series OCZSSD2-1AGT60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks

Using it as C: (OS and App) drive.. only using about 30GB on it right now.

My next upgrades "when I get the money" is the mobo and the cpu. I tried putting a AMD 5600+ in but it over heated so I had to send it back. I guess I need a new mobo and either a 680 or 750W PSU, but this pc is fast as hell (no lie) since I put that ssd in.

This is the one I got, it has a faster controller according to the research I did before buying. Newegg.com - Patriot Torqx PFZ64GS25SSDR 2.5" 64GB SATA II Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks

 

[Firestrider]

I think both the Torqx and Agility use an Indilinx based disk controller.
