zib_redlektab Registered: 03/18/07 Posts: 42 Loc: Avoiding Direct Sunlight	would it be at all possible to place a flash-based hard drive (solid state) in a MacBook Pro? I've heard rumors of their speed, is it worth the effort I'd have to go through and money I'd have to pay? _________________________ MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.0ghz, 1gb ram Dell 228WPF 22" monitor Mybook Premium 320gb iPod Nano 4gb (red) Wacom Intuos3 6x11
