Edit: If you're interested in buying an SSD based on just having quicker boot up times then I recommend you don't. A clean OS on a HDD or a RAID 0 set-up could probably boot in pretty similar times. You should want to buy an SSD because it will let you have way more programs on start up with minimal performance impact, because it will make your overall user experience much more snappy and finally because it will remove the bottle neck on your expensive RAM and CPU and allow them to perform at the speed you were expecting when you bought your fancy new computer. :) In this video I compare the loading speed of the new OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD to the speed of a Western Digital Caviar Black 1000GB HDD with impressive results ( for the SSD at least). The programs set to open on both tests are the same design programs from AutoDesk and Adobe. All very demanding programs. Enjoy the Video :).
