Took me a few days to figure out that there's a setting for 64-bit voltage in 64-bit windows and the default is 32, with this being stated absolutely nowhere in the windows manual or the bios manual.

Uh, you had to change the
voltage to your HDD to account for a 64-bit OS? I have never heard of such a thing and don't understand how that's possible.
I've now owned three different SSD drives and none of them required any fiddling in the BIOS, each was exactly the same installation procedure as any mechanical hard disk.
If you don't have a SATA3 motherboard you aren't going to see all the gains of the next-gen SSDs. Wait if you want to futureproof. Otherwise, you can still get some silly fast SSDs for under $200 (see my previous post)>
