[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 666882, member: 55213"] [b]AW: Re: SSD recommendation[/b] Of course you can use a SSD with WinXP - however you should make sure to use special instructions for partition alignment to get full speed of it. I would not focus on the boot time (ok, I use S3 anyway, so it's only seconds until HTPC is "on") - but biggest advantage is the extreme improvement when randomly accessing many files (like Thumbs etc.) - that gave me improvement from 20-60 secs to 2 secs for long lists.... so I was so happy with it, that I today ordered another one for second HTPC (WinXP). btw: I use vertex2 60GB - it's 105 Euros ...
