Btw, the SSD is running since some weeks now. Booting is over 10x faster, but I barely reboot my PC, it's running 24/7. Programs also start a lot faster, but otherwise, I don't use an SSDs full potential.

An SSD is really at its best used just for the OS, for fast booting as you say. Remember to move the Windows virtual memory cache off from the SSD to another drive, otherwise it will great reduce the life of the SSD with the constant rewrites.

I don't use any page file at all anymore, since nowadays we have a lot of RAM, it's not needed.

True, except Windows still likes to have access for certain things sometimes, and some (badly coded software) expects it. Older games can sometimes complain or just crash f.ex.
