Macbook Pro + SSD... Insanity!!!

Okay, maybe it's time to stop using the terms Insane or Insanity in my posts...

Well, I finally got my Macbook Pro upgraded with a 160GB SSD drive (Intel X25-M).  I thought this system was fast before, well it's absolutely smoking now!  Boot time has been cut in half, apps load in a blink of the eye (Photoshop CS5 opens in 5 seconds), and the battery life has doubled (if not tripled).
Needless to say, I'm very happy with this upgrade and am hoping this drive will remain at this speed after a few months of usage (OS X doesn't support TRIM from what I have found).

Next update - 8 GB of DDR3...  Looking at the Kingston 8GB Kit that is certified for this model.  Hoping to get that in the next week or two, so will keep you posted.
