read up to 175MB/s
write up to 100MB/s

really just for fun, I don't mind having a smaller boot drive/working space
...I guess it would depend on how much drive access I would do as to if I would feel any difference...I mean if I have 4GB~8Gb of system RAM, and Vista is prefetching most things I might need in to that anyway...hmmm, just thinking because i have been off of CD/DVD disks for awhile now(only had a CD/DVD drive connected long enough to install Windows) if this couldn't be the next step...as also I would like to get to the point where all 'large storage' is on the network shared, with the different computers thru the house only needing small drives
If you wanted to you could try and use some eSATA flash drives in like a raid-0 array.

Get two of these OCZ eSATA 8GB flash drives and one of these SATA to eSATA connectors.

You should be able to theoretically reach like 180MB/s read and 60MB/s write speeds.

If it does work you'd have your OS on a 16GB flash raid array. This would only work with desktops though.
