Already plenty of info along those lines here if people would SEARCH first.

But if you have more to contribute, please do. Slap all the stuff about symlinking and "Q6600 + 8GB then worry about SSDs" on the wiki, if it hasn't already been done as well.
Everyone likes to be reassured that there not about to waste £100 of there money on something that wont increase performance (not reffering to SSD), i recently bought a SSD and a extra 4GB ram to make a total of 8GB. Although it has been chaos trying to get it all to work, the SSD works fine and was just a 15 minute setup. Trying to install windows vista was the chaos, if i try to run the install with 8GB ram it BSOD, 4GB - BSOD, 2gb it will install - slowly. Then when i finish install i put in the other sticks of ram, BSOD - omg please someone shoot me in the head. Each ram stick is 100% working, anyways back on to the topic at hand, I eventually gave up for now (ill be back) on setting up windows vista and went back to windows xp 32bit.

Then installed the SSD without a problem, windows detected it straight away. Using a program i found here to make symbolic linking easy i then linked my data folder, cache folder and tryed to do a wierd link with my WTF folder to make it so all the charecters copy there data / saved variables from the main. It worked good except for things like bartender4 which just kept reseting

So logged into game and was shocked!, i could acctually run around shattrath and it was playable! although it did freeze when you just jump down into the center of shattrath. In classic WoW areas such as burning steppes, blasted lands i was getting fps of around 40-50 and i was no longer stuttering / freezing. My fps used to stay around 10-25 and constantly freeze and stick.
