You will see a substantial increase in Windows overall. This only relates to loading applications so Vegas will load a whole lot faster but after that, it won’t run any faster.

Every load gets faster. This used to be a much bigger deal than it was, since most programs actually fit in RAM now (you don’t have the “spectulative” load causing a program to continue to load during its use). But Windows itself is doing all kinds of stuff on your system drive — this all gets faster.
The one thing you probably want to do, after you get that drive up and running, is to move your swap file to a different partition. Sure, you’d love the extra speed for swapping, and with a decent amount of memory (I have 8GB too), you don’t get much thrashing. On the other hand, if you ever do, the SSD will wear out dramatically faster than an HDD — it has a lifetime limit on writes per block.
