It'll only be a problem if you're planning to use a swap file or do frequent writes (compiling programs, etc). Solid state devices really aren't great if your going to do heavy writing because they will fry eventually. Under normal usage this could be years, but with heavy daily use it could be months.

Perhaps a 4GIG. I dont need X or anything on this drive so installing should fit just fine. Are there boot issues with these flash drives? I'll be using a newer motherboard so the motherboard should be able to boot USB. Does this work? Have others done anything with flash drives? I am wanting this flash drive to be the ONLY drive in the computer. Kind of a dedicated machine running multiple RS232 multiport cards.
