    I heard it was a Samsung, but is it SATA-II? I don't think it matters, since transfer speeds don't max out the cable speed anyway, but just curious.

    Will do. I hear Turbo Memory + SSD makes for a fast bootup.

    Turbo memory is a tad picky. It gets really confused if you're installing a lot. If you just start up and shut down a few times in a row (I'm gonna try 5-7), that should get it to 'remember' the startup files. At that point, you're booting almost entirely off of turbo memory, and so an SSD/HDD won't make much difference.
