Intel X25-M for the desktop and Crucial SSD for the laptop!
I still have the RaptorX for apps, games, digital audio recording/editing, and some video editing. I disabled paging for the X25-M after the fresh install, so Win7 is currently eating up 10GB. Not too shabby. Hopefully it doesn't bloat too much after months of updates.

I'm prolly gonna do a motherboard replacement before I buy Win7. The idea of having just a shitload of RAM is too much to resist.  |
Win7 got rid of SuperFetch? Sweet... no wonder it felt so nice. I bought 2 sets of G.Skill 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHz memory for around $140-150 total. I'm currently RMA'ing one set. Once my graphics card arrive, then I can do full blown memory testing. It's nice to be able to boot up and test the build with 1GB of memory!
