I cannot wait to see the speed on the MacBook Air with the SSD to show just how much faster SSD is.

One thing to consider with SSD is the size of your OS:

Vista Home Basic needs 35 GB

VIsta Home Premium / Business / Ultimate needs 55 GB

Mac OS needs 9 GB

and Ubuntu Linus needs 4 GB

Windows XP only needs 1.5 GB
