Can someone explain why computers aren’t going away from sata (moving parts) hard drives and using instead RAM type (non moving part) Hard Drives?

They are.

In 2 years all high-end laptops will ship with solid state drives. Although my Windows 7 PC boots very fast I will be installing an 80Gig SSCD drive as my boot and reconfiguring the old drive as data-only.

I'll probably mess everything up first time out.

Solid state drives ARE replacing disk drives. HDDs are going the way of the CRT.

The interface for most solid state drives is still SATA.

Price. You can get a 1 TB spinning drive for $85, but the same thing in solid state will cost you almost $4,000. Give it time.
