Awesome thread... you can update the first post like this...
Assuming W7:
QUICK Format drive with Windows disk (1024).
Install windows 7.
Install chipset drivers
Install gpu drivers
Run WEI.
Install other apps
Enjoy your SSD.
Running the WEI eliminates most tweaks you have to do really. It should disable indexing on the SSD but leave it active on the HDD's (instead of disabling hte service slowing your platter response). It will disabling defrag, prefetch, etc on the SSD as well.

This doesn't vary depending on the size of the SSD?
Why would WEI (Windows Exp index I suppose) configure anything? Never heard of that! Correct me if I am the noob of the day 
BTW, nice FAQ Mailman, thanks.
Q: What are the benefits or not of moving the TEMP/TMP folders out of the SSD?

It's not that WEI does any configuring, but it lets the OS detect the drive as a solid state. Once it detects that Windows will make the necessary changes.

Not really lol that program does some things that it shouldn't (turning services and hibernation back on and such) just so it can say it turned them off and "optimized" your ssd lol. Try it and see I did. It changes settings back after uninstall also (to defaults not what you may have already set before install).
