I had a bit of a snoop about for info on CF, and it isn't obvious to me how I could use one on the Acer. Oh sorry, I had left the detail out; you just need a CF to IDE adapter. As CF is pin-pin compatible with IDE it is just a header conversion board, quite cheap on ebay. I'm now thinking I should just install Linux on the IDE drive and see how it performs. You'll find that quite acceptable, but CF/SSD is a lot faster to boot, as for running afterwards, really not much difference unless you are doing a lot of disk intensive work, in which case SSD is still a bit of a worry anyway.
cheers.
