well, my HD started making clicking sounds and giving write errors (though SMART says all is well). Ive lost two pictures and maybe five songs from my music library that I can re-rip. But I fear it is too late to do any imaging at this point, given the scenario at hand. Will probably go win7 and 10.7 dual boot. Hopefully I can find all my SW. At least I have everything time machine backed up...

well, got the HD. Samsung 830 256 GB. Will do a fresh install of 10.7 Lion (to get trim) and then Windows 7. Hopefully a core 2 duo of 2.6 GHz isnt too weak. I have 4GB RAM, think I should increase?
