[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 640813, member: 11220"] I have an OCZ Vertex 30GB in HTPC and a Vertex2 60GB in my main PC. The Vertex 2 is quicker but the older Vertex is plenty fast enough for HTPC use. Had it for a while now and main improvement is boot and resume from standby. I see you are using XP (as I am with HTPC) this makes life a little more difficult as XP is not designed to cope with SSDs. You have to fiddle about aligning drive partitions and all sorts of things....
