Yeah, 8GB wouldn't make a difference. I'm not planning on having a bunch of shit on it. I did see Amazon is selling the Samsung 830 Series 256GB solid state drive for ~$200 which is a good price and would pretty much replace my current hard drive as I will never use that much storage. May just go that route so that I don't have to worry about it in the future. I also have to upgrade my RAM, but that's probably a future project. I probably should have just had Dell put in a SSD and more RAM when they were building it, but they wanted outrageous prices for that kind of stuff. I think 8GB of RAM was a $150 upgrade.

If anyone has a SSD, is there a noticeable all around performance increase or is it mainly just noticeable for boot up and program launching?
