btw very good writeup on OCZ 1 SSDs here
http://www.alternativerecursion.info/?p=106
I have a SSD at work (Samsung gen2, expensive as hell) and imo the $99 for the OCZ v1 at Newegg is a good price, and some people will see a perf improvement in WoW by putting (at least) the data directory on it. But the SSD is gen1, OCZ has already released generation 2, and Intel just released a few days ago its own SSD implementation. The OCZ v1 is supposed to have relatively high failure rates. I'm on the fence of buying one at home, but I think i'll just wait until I buy my next PC and put a SSD in there, by the time I build it the Intel SSDs should be out and hopefully lower in price.
The OCZ v1 SSDs (the one at Newegg for $99) suffers huge write penaltys for small files, don't think of putting stuff like your operating system or browser on it.
