    Still has some stuttering issues and internet browsing is a drag... unlike the sammy. supposedly a huge improvement from the single jmicron drives. but u can buy the samsung 256mlc from dell for like $750ish and less if you find a 10-20% off coupon somewhere (i think i remember reading someone doing that)... check out the sticky ssd thread.
