small update.

recap: bought newmodeus caddy and a intel g2 80gb. Tried installing vista and win7 without luck, ubuntu installed flawlessly.

Had some time the previous weekend to test some more, and installed windows XP without any problems. Couldnt upgrade to win7 from within windows xp.(Do I have to upgrade to vista first?)

ill post some quick crystalmark results (slave mode still)
-5 tests
-100mb

before &after baredit hack. with crystalmark 3.0 (beta)

whenever I try to have it on master the booting get stuck.

Even if the SSD cant operate on its fullest, it still is a nice performance boost. XP with bios boot time is around 20sec. Access time is still far greater than that of the pata. The pata drive works now as a storage dump ^^
