Which OCZ drive would you buy if they're the same price?

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

Thanks guys. The wife has been saying her computer is a bit slow; figured an SSD would change her mind. She's the epitome of a minimalist user; she has a 120GB drive in her computer, 88GB still free. A 60GB Vertex should do fine. All she does is email, browsing, and a bit of light online gaming (Hangaroo, Mah Jong, Word Find, etc.)

I asked her a while back if she would like to learn to edit photos and stuff. She said that's what she has me for.....
