    Hey guys!

    I have a dell Studio XPS 16, which is great, but I want to get the most out of it. Since my Expresscard slot is empty, I was considering buying an Expresscard SSD (Wintec filemate r/w 115/65 mb/s) (or are there better cards on the market?) and putting windows and my programs on there. Is this possible, to boot from the Expresscard, and will this improve my performance significantly? Or is it just a waist or money?

    It would probably be a waste of your time and money.
