SSD Drive

Looking at getting an SSD. So far I am thinking I will go with the Intel 80GB X-25M G2 drive. It has TRIM so that's nice. Looked at a Corsair X Series, but no TRIM yet and who knows when they will have it. Also looked at some OCZ's but they have so many different models and crap it's just annoying. I think sticking with the Intel brand will be my best bet.

Will likely use for boot/OS and some programs like Office, Photoshop, etc. and store all data and any other less demanding programs on an existing Raptor drive.

Want to try to keep my writes to a minimum, and thinking about the page file - would it be best just to put it on the Raptor? It's a 150GB, just a couple years old. It would probably be "slower" but I don't think it would matter as much having it there instead of on the SSD. I have 8GB of RAM anyway.

do u really need a page file with 8-GB of Ram? I dont think that you need a pagefile with that much ram

It depends on the task, sometimes the pagefile does get used.

I say put it on the SSD. No point in having it if you aren't going to take full advantage of it.
