3 things I need or want to do is SSD better screen for 1080P (im at 1680x1050) and putting this 5970 under water.

Ill check out the FS section now and then for an SSD. i bet its night and day, just looking at the performance numbers make me think it has to be at least 2-3 times faster than my current HD

I get boot times around 18 seconds (I type in a password)...(I had about 30 in shortstroked RAID 0)

40GB is actually plenty for the OS and a few programs/games. A clean install will take up 9.5-10GB.

As for the sucky write performance even installing programs is not sluggish and writing is what my "data" disks are for...1.2TB of RAID 0 storage @ 210 MB/s.
I have a 125gig partition I use for my os/5-6 games and benching proggies.....it takes up 70 gigs and thats when its clean, If I neglect it for 2-3 weeks it can go into the 90-100gig range. I definitly need something like 100gigs.......still never had a TB if storage yet
