An alternative i'm thinking about right now.

32GB is about the same amount of space you were looking at with an SD card.

Figured I'd post this here in case you are still looking for an SSD -- Newegg has a 120GB SSD for $50 today as one of their shell shocker sales - ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0D9-0021-00005 ) Seems to have good specs @ Max Sequential Read Up to 550MB/s and Max Sequential Write Up to 500MB/s. (much faster and larger than the SD adapter and cheaper once you include the SD card price.)

cool i think im prob gonna get an ssd then
so regarding windows xp/7 booting, does the hd speed noticeably affect booting times then, or do those pauses/delays you get when booting windows xp/7 come down to others things like the cpu, housekeeping, etc
in simple terms (if possible) ... if windows xp took say, 1 minute to boot on a regular hdd, is there an estimate u could put on the time it will load, same setup, but on a ssd?
adder:
(below) just saw this video on youtube, i'd certainly be happy with that.
(mind you, the 'warning' from someone in the comments section is interesting, i will have to look into that..)

I hope you know what you're doing. XP is known to destroy SSDs, because it was written before SSDs were popular, so it doesn't know how to handle them. Windows 7 and 8 will automatically disable prefetch, superfetch, defrag, and they will change how they access and write files. XP will assume you are on a HDD. I had a 32GB SSD running on an XP laptop a few years ago. The SSD died in 3 years.
