Haven't bothered upgrading to 64bit yet - I remember initial reviews were a little underwhelming.

If only hard disk technology progressed at the same rate! Sick and tired of crappy performance. About time some big flash disks came out to replace them!

I would love to see some large, fast flash disks

I am sick of the noise that normal hard drives make. I select the ones I buy very carefully, have then in acoustic enclosures and not directly attached to my case to reduce vibrations. You can still hear the buggers crunch away if you get a "fast" one.
