   Anyone within broadcasting range of this message still with XP     
   and using an SSD with the OS?   
      
   Sofar, the experience is quite good, albiet is has barely been     
   a week since the uprade with the SDD.   
      
   My Thinkpad T60 was acquired with XP at the time - about 10 yrs     
   ago. Since then, it has seen a lot of use, added programs and     
   dependancy as my "production" machine. It has a modest 3GB ram     
   installed, but that's the max for this T60.   
      
   From other research, I've learned that the pagefile ought to be     
   disabled inorder to prevent excessive writes to a pagefile     
   (normally performed on a HDD).  So, that is what I've done -     
   disabled the pagefile allocation, and deleted the remnants of     
   pagefile.sys on both the C and H partitions.   
      
   I'm monitoring the RAM use with a small utility in the taskbar:     
   MemInfo 3.43   
      
   When the HDD was in place, the typical recommended size of the     
   pagefile was about 1.5 x installed ram. But I limited it to     
   about 3GB.  The pagefile.sys rarely saw usage (based on the     
   Last Modified date).  But when it did see usage, I was     
   certainly pushing it by being lazy to close programs that I   
   really wasn't using.   
      
   In all, I find the change to SSD satisfying so far. [1] I     
   appreciate that the machine seems to crawl out of Hibernate a     
   bit faster and smoother.  [2] I am relieved that my 95% full C     
   drive on the HDD data is successfully ported over to a larger     
   139GB partition on the 1TB SSD.  [3] Programs *do* seem to     
   render onscreen faster. [4] Battery runtime seems to have     
   extended a bit longer too. [5] The fan hardly ever runs, and     
   only occassionaly; before, it was on ALL the time.
