Hey, just want some info on the SDD that you can get in the build to order 17" Macbook Pro. I couldnt find a thread that actually answered my questions but if there is one i apologize in advance for creating a new one. 
but basically "how much" faster is the SSD then the 7200 RPM drive that you can get in BTO? i mean in every day tasks. Saving a pages file, opening a word document, opening iphoto, opening imovie, booting OSX. XP via boot camp and/or parallels/VMfusion. How about moving between different windows, doing multiple things at once. Basically just real world stuff? And the drive i believe that they use is a MLC ( i have done some research ) which i guess is the "not so good" type of SSD. and finally, if i could pick up the SSD in the BTO area for $225, would it be worth it? also, i am not so much worried about the amount of space considering 128 is no where close to 320, im more conserned with everyday use.
Im a college kid, use pages, and keynote quite a but. also do some stuff in iphoto and basic movie editing in imovie. thats it. Thank you in advance for any tips, facts, opinions from anyone and everyone.
