Thanks Brian! Currently with Win7 installed it is using 40G. That is
without anything added. Windows sure has bloated. It probably will
just be a toy.... but like you said I might like it so much I may use it
more... I was looking at the 240G SSD. I also read the manufactures
usually reserve some space for bad sectors that are not included in the
capacity of the drive. Maybe I'll make it dual boot. I only have 4G of
RAM and do not want to spend any more on it.... so using VirtualBox
might not be an option... maybe...

From what I understand, SSDs that are often-written wear out much
faster if they're more than 80% or 90% full. A good reason to go

I was going to mention this as well in my reply but I guess I forgot.
I always buy more than what I need as well. It's hard for the wear
leveling to spread out writes to unused areas of the drive when the
drive is near full.
