New SSD for my system

[Nevakonaza]

Was thinking of buying this to give my system a nice boost,My hard drive is the major bottleneck of my system atm.





Intel X25-V 40GB 2.5" Solid State Hard Drive (SSD) SATAII


Is that drive any good?

is there noticeably a difference in speed? I have read a bit about them but it is all paper or web browser stuff people saying it is faster but is noticeably faster?
I would imagine that a person using an ssd drive would just have the Operating system on it and nothing else for speed?

I have Win7 and all my applications on it and it still have 13GB left. No complaints and it the best upgrade I did on my PC.

compared to what if you compared it to another ssd then it good compared to a hdd it's night and day. most ssd that run between 150mb/s to 250 mb/s there's not a huge difference at all. jm2cents cause that's all there is

hehe ok well I just needed to know from people I trust.
Do you think the prices will drop on these? I know they are cheap for being SSd drives but I am wondering if they will come down in proce even more
