Ok so I just installed an Intel 80 gb SSD into my PC.
I installed it sepperate from my old Hit 1gb HDD so that i could compare speeds.
Both running windows 7. Although the HDD has alot of program on it while the SSD is a fresh clean install.
The SSD was barely faster booting to windows. Maybe like 4 secs faster if that. I seen all these youtube videos with SSD smoking the HDD competition.
So... Am i doing something wrong or are my expectations to high. I debating on returning the SSD because 4 seconds isnt worth 200 dollars IMO.
PC spec:
2.8 intel quad core
8 gigs of ram
80 gig SSD intel
1 tb Hitachi HDD
285 geforce GPU

It's still possible you're seeing the USB glitch I mentioned. You might try unplugging all USB devices except your mouse/keyboard, or perhaps fiddling with the motherboard USB settings to see if that makes a difference.
My system occasionally takes about 60 extra seconds to boot and I haven't been able to track down exactly why other than a USB message in the event log.
