Okay here's a question. Can I mix and match an SSD with a standard harddrive in my computer?
The reason I ask is that I want something for extra storage and if SSD is faster than the old 7200's to maybe put my games on but given the exhorbinant price point I wouldn't want it as my only drive.

No problem, practically everyone does this combo. OS is usually on the SSD and if there's space leftover commonly used Apps get the spare space. Heard of some Installing Games on their SSD, then deleting them once they're done with it.
Thanks
That may be the way to go then since I already delete things i'm not using off my harddrive.
Now it's off to Tigerdirect to see what I can get for an SSD at a reasonable price.
Check out newegg.ca and canadacomputers as well.

+1 on the Newegg. I've had somewhat better service from them than Tigerdirect. Mainly since you're dealing with a .ca address, you don't get a COD on the shipping for import duties.
I'd rather deal locally, but there are some things too low on price point for my local guys to accommodate.
