SSDs are pretty amazing. Even big pieces of shit feel like new. I put SSDs in everything.

The ram didn't do anything, I stuck with 2GB ram for a long time and it was an SSD upgrade that made everything more snappy.
You can't even feel the swap thrashing.

but my ram usage was always at 90%+ with three or four chrome tabs open... it was so shit and would freeze up all the time.
Now I can browse like a mad man. But yeah the SSD has made everything so quick.

You're still thrashing, it's just that the faster I/O of the SSD makes it less noticeable.
You can actually hear the SSD screaming if you turn your fans off.

even just with i3 and two terminals next to each other on a workspace it feels pretty cramped. not nearly enough height, for one.
