When 256GB cost 100 or less or 512GB costs 200 or less then I'll be less hesitant to buy them in the future. But maybe by that time they'll have a platform which 32GB or greater RAM amounts will be common/cheaper so a SSD will simply become insignificant to me besides booting and holding a RAMdisk image. I mean if everyone is saying that IO and read/write/latency are so important than they should be all up in arms demanding more RAM capacity for their mobos and CPUs to handle. That said I'm really hoping that prices continue "plunging" as I'd still like a SSD since they're the next advancement.

IT isnt about map loading. Everything is faster. I didn't know how good they were until i got one, everything feels more snappy. Dont knock it until you actually use one for a while!

still about $240,- here for a Crucial m4 256gb
