I have a T43. Um , I am guessing I do not have an SSD. If I did - would it help a tired system like mine? Could the combo of an SSD and more RAM provide some relief to having my system crash at least once a day?

Hi Susanne, Unfortunatley, T43 laptops use a PATA interface for their storage media, so no, you cannot use the Intel X25-M SATA SSD. If you migrate to a T61 then you can take advantage of an Intel SSD. Check with your IT representative to see when you would be eligible for a migration. Given the number of crashes you are experiencing you might be able to expedite your migration to a new system.

That was funny, though I think MLC SSD’s still have problems with OSes like Windows Vista. Especially Vista which clutters files and directories all around through background defragging; defragging which in many cases is unnecessary. There are people who claim SSD’s lose speed over time, as data clutters more and more all across the disk.
One way you know you’re buying an SSD drive, is when you notice your wallet or bankaccount is empty,after buying only an 80GB SSD drive!
Another way is that they do not let you pass through airport customs, as your laptop does not show a harddrive on the airport security scan,and protocol says it could be a dangerous device!
