I think i'll just do what you originally mentioned and just re-install the OS. I totally forgot I originally made 8 DVD disc's for OS re-installation when I first got my laptop. That took literally 2 hours to do!

Also, looks like I will go for for the OCZ Vertex 2 120GB, it looks like it has the best bang for the buck.

Hmm one more thing, when I do the HDD swap, I wonder if I will have to call M$ because of the hardware change and to re-activate my Win7? I'm not too familiar with Windows 7, and I remember reading about something where if you did too many hardware changes it would ask you to re-activate windows.

One last thing, would it be a bad idea to put my swap file on the SSD also? Or should I just use the secondary HDD as the swap file? I would like to use the SSD as a swap file but i'm worried about the writes destroying the SSD.

Thanks for your help acarzt :D
