    Would you bite the bulllet now and buy an SSD from OZC, G.Skill, Samsung now @ 64GB approx $1000+ or wait for Intel 3rd QTR which claims it will be cheaper and offer 160Gb size?

    In Germany I must pay for my 64 GB 750 Euro its round about 1400 Dollar.
    It's very expensive here to buy a SSD.

    Super Talent has the best pricing right now, but a 64gb is still $900. I want to move to one sometime in the future, but I am probably only willing to pay 2-3x the price per GB of traditional drives. That will happen, just a question of how soon!

    I am waiting - unless you have money to burn, I would suggest you wait at least another 6 months.
