> Why make it faster? Why not? I don't like to wait. To me, the faster the better.
I'm standing right alongside you on that one!
An alternative that hasn't been mentioned is a faster HDD, which will cost significantly less than an SSD.
If your current HDD is running at 5,400RPM, you can upgrade to a 7,200RPM drive, as I recently did, and get a nice speed boost; I'm finding that my chime to desktop time is about 33% less.
