Newegg has the Intel Mainstream 160 GB SSD on for about $450.  The hard
drive in my laptop is slowly failing and it needs to be replaced.  Its
an HP HDX with 2 drive bays so I can fit F13 and /home on the 160 GB and
use a 500 GB drive as secondary storage.

People say its the best performance upgrade you do to a computer.  For
$300 over buying another conventional drive I think its work trying.
