I am using a 8 GB CF card and a card reader. Total price: 36 Euro (without shipping).

The result is a amazing. Massive increase of the boot speed and application launch speed. The entire system feels much faster.

I installed the entire system and all applications on flash. I used around 50% of the card.

The best thing is there is no fragmentation, so if you update files there won't be any speed loss. My harddrive is only used to store media data and other stuff.

My oppinion is that using a faster (more expensive) card will increase this amazing speed even more. 30 Euro for my card or 130 Euro for a little more speed boost. Not worth it. I'll wait until prices go down and update to faster and bigger cards.
