Did you catch that the samsung is more expensive and extremely limited at only 64gb vs 80gb for the intel drive? And also that the OP is only using sata II, so the intel will be nearly as fast as any of the sata 6gb/s ssd's available, anyway?
I did a search on the 80GB Intel and didn't see it being cheaper. I don't see a reason to not pickup a SATA6gb drive at this point. The Intel 320s arent exactly priced cheap. Maybe if you get one on sale I'd do it.
I only have SATA3gb and I'd have to spring for a SATA6gb drive, I'm not going to be on 3gb forever and I migrate my SSDs between laptops and desktops throughout their lifespan anyway.
Either choice looks good to me, but I'd want a good price on the 320.
