If I were you (and knew a bit about computers) I would leave the SSD disks and instead put at least 12Gb of RAM in the machine so, that I can use 6Gb as Ram and another 6Gb as RAMDISK and use Link Shell Extension in order to make links of the ramdrived directories to the game. Explanations here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=20228
Having the game loaded on RAM will be always faster than an SSD.

I use a normal 1,5Tb 5400rpm HDD in my machine (I just happened to have this disk and I installed Win7-64 on it at a moment of desperation when my high performance 10.000rpm HDD had WinXP + IL2FB on it and I did not want to risk anything on my main setup), never noticed any performance problem, even when loading Win7.
So SSDs is a high price for the value, still.

It is my 2cents (as always) but the next most important thing you should be doing, is to have clean installations:
On my WinXP with IL2FB on it, there is no other software installed except the tools needed for the game.
On my Win7-64 with CoD on it there is no other software installed except the tools needed for the game.
On my working WinXP there is whatever I feel like installing...
I practice this for some years now, installing separate hard disks and using mutlti-boot switches. They are expensive and difficult to find but it is worth the money if you want to be sure you always have the max performance out of your system:
This is how they look like, you will ned to search a lot to find something in the area of EUR40.00
