Regarding game loading time, which in view of my sig you should know which game I am talking about...

Currently my loading time is hell annoying, even tried reformating, it just dont work.. Always slowest to complete my load..

I wonder if SSD would solve the misery I am facing..

Why do you have to wait for others?

If you're budget sensitive, waiting may be a good idea, as the Vertex 3's introduction will surely depress the Vertex 2 prices. But only if you can avoid the temptation of buying new shiny hardware.

And I also think that most people won't be able to appreciate the difference between an SSD with SATA2 or SATA3 interfaces. Unless you find yourself regularly wishing your data can be copied at 400-500 MiB/s, a 'slow' 200 MiB/s should suffice. SATA3 won't improve on the access time, you're already getting that just by switching to any SSD.

Good say, I would hope the "slow" 200MiBS SSD would be slashed to lower price while having sufficient space (80GB is ideal for me). ATM 60GB for 400+ sounds a little steep for me

Seriously considering to get SSD. My current MB don't support trim, would that be a problem?

Does trim requires hardware support too? How can I check for it?

Unfortunately Intel's G3 is specced to 250 MB/s sequential read and 170 MB/s sequential write. Still much slower than SandForce's best. However, there are expectations that the G3 will double capacity for the same price. Coming up sometime this quarter (Janaury-March). Potential buyers may be torn between extreme performance and limited capacity of SandForce SSDs or Intel's good enough performance and twice the capacity.

Source: Intel's 3rd Generation X25-M SSD Specs Revealed

People may think that more performance is better, thinking they'll simply be careful to use their capacity and moving things to and fro from their 1TB drives. But having already owned two SSDs, I'm preferring more capacity and good enough performance myself.

I think I can live on anything above 100GB, The new spec of x3 Intel SSD have improved writing speed (170mb/s as oppose to 100mb/s).
Doubling the current SSD capacity is god send good news i think, it's annoying that you have to constantly move your data around

I got a Macbook Air lately running on SSD, the speed is really incredible.. Boot up time, program boot up etc.. everything felts so . great..

Now tempted to upgrade my desktops into SSD too lol..

I guess when buying a SSD

Reliability>Capacity>Speed

My MBA SSD runs at around 260mbps only (Online test result) yet it already really standout to make the differences.

I think it's using the SATA2 SSD and thus deliver the speed of 260MBps.

The new Macbook AIR is running on a Sandy Bridge system.
SATA3 SSD should be supported.
It would be a beast if SATA3 SSD is used.

It's a stripped down SSD, ram like module..
