SSD

Hi
Any pointers would be great...

Given the cost of SSDs, what is the realistic minimum size to go for? I presume that to get the most out of one you would need to install everything on to it, though I'd run out of space on a 60Gb drive pretty quickly I should think...
Any merit to having one if games etc are installed on a standard HDD?

That's what I thought, though maybe I could get away with a 120Gb or so, especially if the performance jump is awesome.

lots to consider....

That's a lot of 'movies'...!

Well, trim down Office, a few games that I'm actually playing... the drives sell I guess so people must find a way.

Would a 128gb be fine for os/office 2 games and a few bits roughly? Only play starcraft 2 and battlefield 3. Thinking of the M4 128 gb myself.

@jkingscott what drive you thinking of?

M4 too I think, £149? Though that might be pushing it a bit for me, for that.
I suppose its only really games that would need to be installed on the SSD? Couldn't office and stuff like that be installed on a different drive?
