Yeah that's about the price range I'd think, they'll put the 120GB ones for under $200, but not a lot under $200.. they've had them at about $200 already in the past few months (in preparation for this I'm sure). Go too low and you risk changing what people think is acceptable for an SSD.

I finally got my rebate for the SSD I got in what, November or December? LONG time.

burn_this_city I don't think you need to change anything in the BIOS, but make sure and read up on the specific model of SSD and OS as there are usually tweaks for it to maximize performance and minimize wear.

And yeah install and start fresh, with an SSD making sure the partition alignment is correct is important for good performance (it can be done if you image something over apparently, but I have no idea how), if you install fresh with Windows 7 it'll do that and set a bunch of parameters in itself to account for the SSD.
