SSD in Macbook Pro

[Jay Vaughan]

Oops .. I meant 300gig, intel 320 series .. Always get those mixed up. Anyway yeah, ssd is lovely .. But using /dev/shm for a VM image is even lovelier!  :) 

(btw I got OSX working in such a VM on my Linux box recently and man that is the fastest apple machine I've ever seen!)

The thing screams. Much bigger difference than the switch from my old Core2Duo MBP to this one...
