A couple weeks ago, I posted about a sales at MicroCenter where you can get a brand new latest model MacBook for 20% off Apple retail price. I was one of the first people to take advantage of this great deal and got myself a unibody MacBook. I upgraded the RAM to 4GB the moment I got her home. That was a nice upgrade but I felt something was still missing as the speed-bump wasn't that much appreciable over the PandaBook that I've been using.

It was faith when I found out Newegg was having a sale on this OCZ Agility SSD. I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. This is "the single best computer upgrade" I've ever done. The increase in responsiveness throughout was unbelievable. Applications launch so quickly now that it seems the computer actually waits for your next command rather than the other way around. I partitioned the drive to have just enough space for Windows 7 and Mac OS X to be installed on this MacBook. Both show incredible performance on this solid state hard drive.

It may not be time for these SSDs to go mainstream just yet, but let me tell you the performance is well worth its price tag (at least for a geek such as myself it is). So go ahead early adopters, push your computers to that point of diminishing return!
