solid state drives
SSD's have got to be the best thing to happen to computers in some time. A lot of "upgrades" are barely noticeable but you can't miss the change in performance an SSD brings.
They make a 5, 6, or even 7 year old system feel almost like new... assuming you're not into gaming or doing something that requires serious processing power.
Windows start times are cut in half, browser tabs pop up one after another without a hint of slowdown, pages load instantly, Photoshop boots up promptly, there's nothing you can really pick on when it comes to performance.
They seem to be the way everything is going anyways, but I'll never buy/build another computer without one.
