[Chugalug] ssd

[Ed King]

curiosity got the best of me so I finally purchased an ssd drive...   oh and a 
new quad core amd cpu, mobo, and 8gig ram...    its quiet an improvement over my 
tired old 1ghz 512mb system :)

installed latest version of 64bit Kubuntu on fresh Intel 330 series 60 gig ssd 
and ran this test...
