SSD..viable, no?

Not for games directly, but mainly for load times, its almost instant compared to the slow mechanical HDD's.

Just buy a cheap one, just for the OS.

Yeh but I wasn't trying to confuse the TC, it helps a little with load times, but it doesn't help as much as a new GPU or something.

It is and isn't. It's fast for boot times and loading times, but the loading times aren't that bad in games right now anyway. I have a 500gb Caviar Black, and it's fast enough for my taste.

I had this delema a few months back, but ended up going with a 300GB raptor 10k instead, it's quite fast (much faster then my previous hard drive) but still didn't break the bank. I run Vista and my (current) games on it

I also still use my 750gb for movies/music and games I want to keep installed but don't play all too often

but the only way you can get a higher windows speed index is with a SSD!! reason enough to get one. lolAutoPilotOn

Wow, that became my only reason to keep it :P No, but it is a hair second faster on surfing web, and a lot faster loading apps which is not too useful since I dont open or close apps religiously. Also it does nothing for in-game anyway from personal experience...
