I am going to purchase a Macbook Pro soon and was wondering a couple of things:

1. With a 128GB solid state hard drive, will it be enough space to dual boot both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard without performance loss? I plan to install 3-4 games (~20GB) on the Windows partition and Adobe CS4, Office 2007 and iPhone SDK on the Snow Leopard partition.

2. Assuming that I get a 128GB solid state hard drive, what partitions do you recommend (ie a 50/50 split or 30/70 etc)?

3. Should I get the upgrade option on the apple site for $180 or buy a third party one? If I should buy a third party SSD can you be so kind as to point one out for me?

4. After all this talk, is the SSD even worth it? Should I just get the 500GB 5400RPM?

Thanks in advance :)
 
buy intel, not bto from apple !

i have a 160gb x25-m, boot camp partition is 25gb but i rare use win7 ..

change ssd means NO loss of warranty.
