Yeah but if you search around for reviews, you'll hear people having problems with OCZ -- in particular, it will hiccup occasionally and when it does that on your Windows partition, your machine bluescreens.
That's why I went with Intel, even though it's more expensive. Trusted name-brand, 5 year warranty. OCZ appears to have no warranty, though TigerDirect has a 2 or 3 year warranty you can buy separately. But I'd rather just not bluescreen my machine.
So I might seriously consider OCZ as a secondary drive for FRAPS or game installs but for Windows, I'd rather pay more and get a brand I feel better about.
Also, I don't know that OCZ comes with a migration utility. There is free stuff out there but the Intel utility was really simple to use. (The free one I'd found made you burn a bootable CD, which Intel didn't require. The free one also couldn't resize partitions, which the Intel one did automatically.)
