Recently one of my mates bought himself a very nice gaming rig and for the storage system he uses a 60GB SSD in conjunction with a 1TB HDD set up in a RAID type cache mode.
Simply put, the SSD drive is used as a cache for the most accessed blocks of data and the more he uses the computer the faster the load times get as the system puts more and more of the most used data onto the SSD.
He's said that initially the PC would boot with a normal speed but now it really flies at boot-up and with program start up times.
The system is called Intel Smart Response Technology and you need a specific mobo and chip-set for it but I reckon if you are going to invest in a new PC soon it's definitely something to look into.
