I put an SSD in as system disk on my desktop,and it made me feel like a 12-year old boy again (guessing parent poster was once girl). When I was 12 we had a 25MHz ARM-powered desktop (Acorn A5000) which had its system software in ROM and which remains my definition of snappy. Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM and 4 2.5GHz AMD Phenom cores is nearly as snappy; Kubuntu 10.10 on the same hardware was dead on.
But to reply to TFA: no, I want spinning storage for the terabytes of archives my life will create, and the availabiliy of another speed/capacity tier of data cache will mean I'm always going to be sold the option of having both.
