I got two Crucial M4 SSD's. A 128GB for the OS and a 256GB for the games and some heavy apps. I hooked them both on intel 6GB/s SATA3 controler.
I'm sure the SSDs created the biggest performance boost in my upgrade.

Jaws2002,
You have a very good PC!
I was only able to use SATA2 on my MB as far as I know. The Crucial M4 SSD that I have is up to SATA3.
Which would be very fast.
OT; I see you have foot peddles. Have you found that you can use then to use your toe brakes to brake left and right in the Spitfire?
I have the left brake set to brake both wheels and the right peddle to brake to the right.
When you rudder to the right and push the left brake at the same time you will brake to the right wheel.
If you use the rudder to turn left and use the toe brake you will use the left wheel brake. If you just push the brake on the left peddle you will brake with both wheels.
