the ssd i bought was a 128 3gb one and installing windows 7 took almost no time at all and my boot up is about 20 sec and shut down is like 10 secs and my windows score for win 7 went way up from 5.7 to 6.9 harddrive being the lowest score and i have batman arkham city installed on it and the are really no load times when playing


Yeah, that's about what I'd expect. The OS would perform the loading of system applications quicker, and that'd primarily be at system startup. After that, though, most everything that's important is running in memory--not straight off disk.

Game loading would be seriously improved when you think about all the textures, objects, etc. that regularly get loaded, unloaded, reloaded, and on and on and on. They have to hit disk all the time since all that media can't be stored in memory the whole time.

In the end you'd see the most common and consistent improvement in high resolution games, which of course are the apps most likely to fill up a smaller SSD drive the quickest.

It's certainly worth the money... just got to make sure to use it right.
And it makes me *really* wish you could tell Steam where to install games, rather than them all being put on the same drive Steam itself is installed on.
