Yes, a good SSD is many times better than even a VR.
The Intel G2's are the best, but anything based on the Indilinx Barefoot
controller (ie: OCZ Vertex) is also good. The 80GB Intel G2 should run
around $230, but the prices are jacked up and it's OOS in many stores due to
very high demand. I'm avoiding Newegg on this drive--they bumped the price
all the way up to $499 on it to screw over customers. Newegg is one of the
very worst about pricing on hot new items.
they have it for 289. It is the 120GB that is 589. I assume you use
it for your OS drive which means your temp and your page file all are
running out of RAM.
Avoid anything based on Samsung or especially JMicron controllers. You're
better off with a VR than a JMicron-based SSD IMO.
