Would I see a performance increase is games that are installed on there?

64gb should be fine think its about 20gb for w7 on that.

If you install games on an SSD will it perform better?

My 64GB Vertex3 has just under 20GB after a fresh Win7 install. Then with drivers and software etc i have about 14-15GB

The only difference will be in loading times. It won't have any effect on frame rate.

Thanks, faster load times would be awesome.

God yeah, 64 gigs is alright. I noticed a large improvement in terms of loading times going from my Maxtor 500GB HDD to my SSD.
