    I just bought this off ebay. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

    Its a MSI wind u123. I am new to using laptops i only use desktops. So I am not sure what the requirements are and things like that. So im just looking for a SSD that will work. Thanks !

    Also i had a question about the ram. its says max memory is 2 gigs. so im assuming thats all the mobo can support? Otherwise could i get a 4 gb stick and put it in there ?

    It uses a standard 2.5" HDD. About which SSD is best I have no idea. Because of the chipset it uses 2GB's is the max memory.

    Nice budget SSDs are OCZ Onyx and WD Sillicon Edge.

    What's your budget?
