where is the second screen? The Intel X-25 SSD has the best read performance of any of the MLC SSDs, I'm using the 80gig right now. You really shouldn't need 96gb, as 30gb should be all the on board storage you'd need if you have an ipod/mp3 adapter. I think it would be a pain in the *** to have your car sync up with your music library every day when parked at your house - if you have an ipod it would be easier to bring that with you and dock it and play through the car-puter.

At the time of buying the 96GB Vertex was on sale for $190 and the 80GB X25 was $230 at NewEgg. The Intel touts 250MB/s read speed and the OCZ 240MB/s so I thought the OCZ was a good compromise. Also Tech Spot's bench tests went as far as to say OCZ was slightly faster but I doubt that it is. I could have used my 30GB but wanted something with a little more space since I am using Windows 7 and will be running some big programs.

I definitely won't be syncing my entire 400GB music library, just some artists. I have a Nokia N900 with 64GB storage I will use for some music and video files but I mostly listen to Pandora now. Which is good since Centrafuse has a plugin for it.

The second screen will be where the airbag was, the cover will flip up and back into the top to act as a sun shade. It will be the control interface for another project I am doing, screen for the navigator/passenger, video playback of traffic cam/films, and of course games.

Gotta be honest tho they did lose me on the stream lining the bios and the ssd for boot up times.

By stream lining the bios I mean just going in and turning off features that won't be used like RAID so it doesn't have to load the drivers.

SSD is means Solid State Drive so it should handle the seasonal temp difference here in New England and withstand road vibration since there are no moving parts to cause platter damage. It's faster too.
