Recommendations for SSD

Agree more ram in system. Remember you will use 3.3GB of ram but your system also grabs more ram so actually 4gb in use

I'll have 12GB total after the upgrade.

Thinking of buying a 256 GB Vertex 4 from Esquire - sell them for around R2,400 incl VAT.

EDIT: Was reading Rudimental's post about the Plextor M3 256, and saw ComX selling it here for R2235 - http://www.comx.co.za/PX-256M3S-Ple...Drive-Information-Price-Buy-Cheap-p-55984.php

Good buy?

Anandtech has a pretty decent review on the drive: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5628/the-plextor-m3-review

What's the warrenty on the Plextors?

If you want one, then you better check if they have stock. I think the supplier might have sold out. The warranty is 5 years. I haven't personally bought one so I'm just going by the reviews and good feedback (e.g. on Newegg and Amazon).
