Had an early present from my wife and son for my birthday and got a new motherboard and SSD for my home machine, upgraded to a decent Gigabyte motherboard with more than 2 RAM slots and a nice Samsung 120GB 840 SSD. This is the first time I have used an SSD with windows (my chromebook with flash not withstanding).
I had a little reading to do on how to maximise the setup of the SSD devices and got everything back up and running in no time, then reconnected the existing hard drives I have and booted the machine up.
When I first rebooted the machine I wondered how long it would take to be shocked at getting a workable desktop inside of 12 seconds, compared to the 2/3 minutes previous, no grinding away loading up applications, really really impressive.
After a couple of days getting everything installed it still impressing me on power up each time here and I would recommend it each time.
