I have a couple basic newb SSD questions, ive googled a bit and lurked in this particular section of OCN lately to try to inform myself but there's so much new info i want to run things by you folks first. 
First of all, I'm primarily a gamer, currently running Win 7 64 and Games/Apps off my RAID 0 array of 2 WD 320 GB 7,200 rpm drives.
im thinking of gettin a Crucial M4 and doing a clean install of Win 7. The RAID array ill then wipe and use as the storage location for games.
with all that in mind, will my only net benefit be really fast boot? im guessing my game loading times will stay about the same if the data is on the RAID of my old HDs. correct me if im wrong.
here's the ssd im looking at:
Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2

i see theres also the Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2CCA, what the hell is the difference? its like $20 more but seems identitical

They must be the same.
, i hate booting to desktop only to wait for so longggg watching the HD activity indicator solid and hearing the drives groan away. so lame. once im up and running everything runs fast enough.
