The thing to go for atm is the
Gigabyte i-RAM Solid State Storage Device
Although the IRAM2 is out shortly. you load these guys up with RAM (4gb) and install windows on this partition.
aparently speeds your PC up no end.
I think winxp has started from cold boot in approx 3 seconds with these (it is flash memory).
The Iram2 will support something like 16gb i think.
