I would like to configure a new Windows 7 machine and use a single 128GB SSD for the operating system and programs and use a large HDD for My Documents and storage. Has anybody done this yet?

I have a friend who has X25 M G2 with the OS (Win 7) installed on it and it works well. Just make sure you get a quality SSD, not some cheap quality SSD. Also, make sure you disable Indexing,defrag,etc for the SSD.

Read the last page of this article:

and stick with its recommendations, for the reasons given in the preceeding 25 pages, and you will be fine.

And you will love it.

I have a OCZ Vertex Turbo in my system for Windows 7, apps and swap file. It's absolutely blindingly fast that way!

I think adding an SSD is probably the cheapest way to get a very noticeable performance boost if your computer is already quite up to speed.
