Specs aren't great on the 840: 530MB/s read but only 130MB/s write speed. Something like
this one, for $50 more, has 550MB/s read and 510MB/s write speeds, for example.
I got this one for my netbook a few months ago and it just flies:
Buy the Corsair Force Series3 180GB SATA Solid State Drive at TigerDirect.ca - also 500+MB/s R/W speeds.
Also: if you're going with >4GB RAM, make sure you get a 64-bit version of whatever OS you choose.
