OK, Bob, there is a bubble now burst (and it's your fault), but I'm equally happy for you that you have no BSOD either. My guess was that the non-volatile SSD was better at recovering from program crashes, but maybe that's irrelevant. Instead, perhaps the stability really is from Windows 7 64-bit.

The flash drive surprises me too, that it would work as well as described. I do think they are optimized for read speed rather than write speed.
