The Intel SSD's seem to be leading the way but they are still a little too expensive..

Crucial C300 SSD SATA III are the fastest you can get. Much faster then Intel

According to the latest specs from Crucial themselves they don't look much faster now - well not the 'i think its the 128gb' version.

the 256gb version is but i think its a lot of money.

you need a sata III interface to get the top speeds from it, ur mobo isnt sata III so ul need a seperate card to give you the 6 gb/s interface
you could always raid0 some other SSD's and get even faster r/w speeds. depends on how fast you want
