   Thanks for the info.  I do believe that I saw a reference to     
   that during my exploration of XP+SSD environments in     
   commentaries by other people.   
      
   I checked it out. It basically talks about the various     
   optimizations that I have already performed manually.   
      
   I DL'd it and installed it to look around. It appears that it     
   is incapable of sending the TRIM command to the SSD if     
   operating under XP.  Only Win7+ is supported.  So, wrt to TRIM,     
   it looks like it doesn't really do anything except wrap any     
   query results into its own reporting style if the data is     
   available by the OS.   
      
   The optimization summary and explanations are pretty good     
   though. But, as I said, I think I took care of the most     
   significant services that would normally write to a HDD,     
   manually.   
      
   One of my last tweaks I did manually was turn off "last     
   accessed date". I find little need to have that. The "last     
   modified date" is more important.  However, before I disabled     
   "last accessed date", I learned that XP was indeed updating     
   that for a variety of files all the time. My guess is that is     
   because of the "fast Indexing" scheme or something.  So,     
   perhaps, indexing is probably something else that can be turned     
   off - as the SSD Tweaker product also suggests.
