I have read a few articles about SSDs and how to set them up as the boot drive. Today I received in my inbox an offer from PC Mag for a Samsung 128GB internal SSD for the ridiculously low price of $134.99. I have a few questions. 0. Does one need to format these things or do they come pre-formatted, and if so, as what? FAT-32 or NTFS or...? 1. There's a slot on my box that accepts SSDs. Is that what is meant by "internal"? 2. Is it possible to set up one of these babies as the boot drive? I'm assuming that this setup would boot way more quickly than the current boot-from-hard-disk setup. 3. Given the whopping size of this thing, I can conceive of installing virtually all my frequently-used apps on it; and there would still be abundant space left. I'm in and out of Access, Word and OneNote several times per day, plus a few other things as well. Could I re-install all these apps on the SSD? -- TIA, Arthur
