regarding SATA 3/6GB, get a 6 tho you'll be limited by your MB's SATA controller.

Go for the Crucial M4 64GB SSD and you'll be fine.

I agree with Danny, at this point the search for SSDs pretty much begins and ends with the Crucial M4.

Are you sure you can put Windows and your games on a 64GB drive ? You must keep some free space.

Well only 1-2 games at most depending on the size of the games but yes you can put games on a 64GB SSD drive. Just don't install ALL of your games to the SSD.

I have a Crucial M4 128 GB, good drive to have

I'd keep at least 25% free.
