They really don't yet? O.o
I would definitely say that 75% of the PC gaming crowd has already moved to 64-bit... maybe when Windows 8 comes around.

True. Because you have to be fucktarded if you're trying to run Crysis with 2GB RAM.
32 GB might be a little bit tiny for a boot drive. Depends how you use it though. On a standard drive, I rake up somewhere close to 25GB based on OS. I don't know how far I'd go if I began loading more programs onto it.
I picked up a kingston SSD NOW 100 for 90 bucks about a month ago. Makes my old C2D look like a retard. xD Even an SSD without the highest specs is a hell of a lot better than the conventional drives. :)

50 and 60 GB isn't enough for your primary OS partition - I realized that mistake few years ago but I'm so lazy to switch to a bigger hard drive. The HDD where the OS is located is divided into 4 partitions, one of them belongs to the OS. I shouldn't have divided it and should have used the full 200 GB for it. I only install mandatory programs on it. All games are installed on a completely separate HDD and partition (faster speed) to load up games and lessen pressure on the main HDD with the OS.
That SSD stuff is making me drool. I want to get a 120 GB at minimum.

How the hell do you get 120GB for an OS install alone? WTF are you putting up like 80GB of your drive as a page file or something?

^ page file or virtual memory, w.e. isnt a good idea on an SSD, it`ll wear it out alot faster.

What? Why not? An SSD is just like RAM, the only difference being the that I/O interface is a little different. :P
