For $120 you can get your hands on an SSD though it comes with some limitations.  The G.Skill Phoenix Pro 40GB is not going to hold much beyond your OS and a few privileged programs allowing you the benefit of a quick boot and it will not completely flatten your wallet.  Tweaktown saw it perform well in the benchmarks they tried, not record breaking but certainly not the slowest SSD on the market.  Check it out, maybe in a RAID 0 they would have enough space and performance with you.

“The new class of small, fast and cheap SSDs might get a nose raised at them from existing SSD users, but if you already own a SSD these drives aren’t made for you. The G.Skill Phoenix Pro 40GB is an entry level SSD designed to get this amazing technology in the hands of those who are either still skeptical to spend the big money on a larger drive SSD, or those financially challenged. In these days of recession and a possible double dip recession, there are enough enthusiasts in this category. When it really comes down to it, I would choose a small SSD over a large platter drive any day and that is what G.Skill is counting on.”
