Hi techies!

It's time to retire my venerable Core2Duo 6600 and climb aboard the V77 train!

I few weeks ago I purchased a 60GB SSD drive with the intention of taking advantage of Intel's SmartResponse feature in the V77 chipset, but then I thought "Nuts to that - why not use it as the boot drive instead?"

I plan to install a large capacity drive (or two) as well to install games, iTunes library, media files, etc. Would it make sense to get a second small SSD for use with SmartResponse to speed up access to the storage drive(s)? Does it even work like that?

I'm a newbie to both SSDs and SmartResponse, so any answers are mucho appreciated!
