    Don't know where the deals and discounts page is, and wanted to post quick:

    The OCZ Vertex 2 120gb is Newegg's shell shocker deal - $159.99 down from $269.99

    Happy shopping!

    Does using SSD boost 3dmark06 scores?

    it could possibly depending on factors but the increase was minimal. With the m11x when i was getting 6900 people with ssds would maybe get 100 points more at best but like i have said with 3dmark06 there is so many factors. There is a huge benefit to an ssd for games if you play anyone who plays starcraft 2 can tell you playing people online that you will be waiting on them not vice versa.
