    What did you pay for your 256MB, Corsair SSD F80? Where did you get it?

    I've been looking at this one. $399.00

    Yeah I recently did the same to my late 2008 Macbook Pro as well. I put 6 GB of ram and a 120gb SSD. It's like having a new computer. A new MBP all tricked out the way I want it would be $2600 and while it would have provided faster performance, my current setup is plenty fast enough for now, and for a fraction of the cost at $300.

    Depending on what size you need, I recently bought a 160GB SSD from the new Intel 320 series for $300, and it's extremely fast and stable.
