Hey all, haven't been active in a long time :\
As the title states; good news on my part! I decided to break down and buy the OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD from Newegg.com to pop into my MacBook Pro MC118L/A (2.53GHZ Core2Duo)
I really can't wait for this drive and see how well the performance will increase and what not. I will post the results shortly of what the upgrades are like coming from the OEM 5400RPM 250GB ;P

Oh I'm sure the results will be skewed, in favor of the SSD. 5400 RPM is like a snail in comparison.

Congrats. I've been running a 128GB SSD for two years now with no issues. It will ruin you for spindle platter storage though.
