    Picked up a 128GB Crucial M4 a few days ago and finally got it up and running in my M11x R3. Very impressed, from On button to a fully loaded desktop in under 15 seconds and everything's loading super fast. Very happy with it, and i think this is just what i needed to use my M11x as my main machine over my bulky Asus G73-JH.

    Nebula Red with Soft Touch Finish
    Intel Core i5 2467M 2.3GHz
    8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Kingston Hyper-X
    1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
    128GB Crucial M4 6Gb/s
    Intel Advanced-N WiFi Link 6205 a/g/n 2x2
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
    1 year Advanced Warranty

    Not bad for a total investment of $800! :D

    I saw a thread just a few days ago about a bunch of must-have SSD tweaks & settings, does anyone know where it is? Can't seem to find it :confused:
