Is an SSD worth it?

[CodeMaster]

I see Wootware mentioned often here, are they decent to buy from?
Any problems with shipping to JHB?

Decent = YES
Shipping problems = NO

I can recommend them, best price anywhere on the V3 120GB atm, ..check out what your shipping turns out to be, cos I'm in CT and it was R30..

Never had a problem with them and great pricing on a lot of stuff recently!

I didn't even bother with cloning it. . . Installing Windows and all my apps was so damn quick, it was actually fun.

Same here... I sat there with my eyes wide open, drooling at the speed...

Can't wait to get one for my macbook, it's 5400 RPM hdd is horribly slow to use in comparison.

I have been converted: Solid-state revolution: in-depth on how SSDs really work

Now which brand, model and size and from where. Hit me.

I see the OCZ vertex 3 is R1539 for the LP version and R1649 for the standard. The internals are exactly the same. So question is, will it be rattling inside my laptop if I get the LP version, or am I good to go.

This may help, standard vertex 3 120GB R1499 at digital sushi. They're a new store but haven't heard anything bad about them and got some stuff from them the other day.

I got Vertex 4 from prophecy, no problems there, decent price.

With wootware, you'll just have to wait a bit longer

Do you think I'll see a difference on the agility 3 vs vertex 3/4

I don't think you will notice it. Only when doing benchies.
