I had an older gateway (well 5 year old model) that I put a Samsung solid state drive 840 series in, 250GB.
Even with a 7200rpm 320GB drive in there before, it has a noticeable performance increase.
Main reason I got it is I sometimes do Skype sessions with demonstrations and things need to be very fast with all he programs running simultaneously.
Plus, the slight noise reduction always helps.
Curious when they will get some of the Solid State technology small enough where they can start using cartridges rather than discs in game systems again.
