I have the Crucial 300 128Mb (a year old now). I have Win7 64 bit Home Premium and all my Flight Sims on it:- CoD, FSX, X-Plane and IL-2 and have around 17Gb left. Actually I'll probablt remove X-Plane as I hardly use it.

Fast to boot and perhaps quicker to pull data for CoD - how would I know?

Very happy except for my ASUS Sabertooth mobo which is great but the Marvell 98xx controller on it won't detect the SSD on cold boot and I have to Reset each time - something I am chasing down with ASUS. I'm sure that's not the fault of the SSD and other ASUS mobos have different controllers. See what you can find out about your mobo controller.

Be sure your mobo has a SATA III (6Gb/s) port for the SSD or you are wasting your time and check the R/W times, some of the older ones are no faster than a good HDD but the figures you are quoting look good.
