My point is what is going to give me the best price/performance ratio. I've read that SSD gives lightning fast load time for the OS and for programs and that sounds awful nice, as my current computer seems to have about a 4-5 minute time from the moment I hit power to the time that I can actually use it to do what I want to do. Sure windows 'loads' in 140 seconds or whatever, but it continues to do something that prevents me from doing what I want to do for at least another 2 minutes after that. Cutting that down would be beautiful.

If you are talking about 4 or 5 minute load times, while a SSD might help in all likelihood you would see a very big improvement just from a reformat (or at least a registry clean and disabling of start up programs). Not even my very old and slow IDE drive took that long to load vista.
