Yes, and avoid SmartDrive... Use Norton Speedisk instead. I haven't
timed it, but it sure feels like twice as fast as Smartdrive 
(not to mention CDROM-drives...), and it is twice as stable as
Smartdrive - no problems with games and such. Of course, you'll need
to give it 4-5M, but it's definitely worth it!
