1. I do not own a SSD yet but have often considered purchasing one. Overall, I've been quite impressed with the price performance of OCZ.

2. My primary consideration is performance over the long term - will it keep performing at it's high rate two years from now. Price is a close second.

3. 2-3 years

4. Build my own

5. A good SSD running the operating system looks like one of the single largest jumps for the dollar spent that you can purchase today. It is the first on my list for upgrades.

6. NA... 

 

Good luck to everyone!

Everything works together, you can have a SSD but if you only have 128MB of ram and pentium 3 the SSD isnt really going to matter, so i guess when building a computer, what really matters is the budget and have a balanced machine with THAT budget
