It's certainly a joy to use now.

All things are relative Mr admin sir, compared to what it was

What ruins RAM more than dropping on the floor is touching without antistatic precautions

An SSD will give a good boost in performance, but 120Gb will start at around £100, and prices roughly double as capacity does. SSD will also improve ruggedness and battery life.

Another option for screen estate on netbooks is to autohide task bar. If only using IE, full screen mode (F11 toggles it) may also help.


Acer. Wouldn't buy one myself. But you did get it cheap.

Closer to 50p per GB nowadays. I got myself a 960GB Kingston SSD for around £360 from Amazon. The difference in boot up times and general responsiveness is amazing!

£58 for a 120GB 2.5 SATA SSD

Or was it a Crucial SSD ?

Cannot remember, but that is reasonable value for the speed increase and space it offers.

I typo'd  .  120Gb are now at the price of 60Gb last year, so around £50ish. Price almost doubles with capacity, as said

A couple of years back, the Crucial m4 was the mutts. Their current SSDs are no longer class leading.
