i want one of those Raptor HDD's though, thats probably the biggest "bottleneck" in my current system

I just got one of the cheap Seagate 500gigs and at 7200RPM I gotta admit, it's pretty quick.

I just couldn't bring myself to drop huge bucks on a 150gig hard drive for, what I have seen written, is only a marginal increase.

I figured I would drop big bucks on graphics cards when either these cards start fucking off on me or when I finally decide to get a quad core/quad graphics rig.

marginal depending on usage, admittedly most people won't need those extra rounds per minute. but i run some very i/o heavy software so it would help a lot, and i'm not really willing to buy a solid state drive just yet.

i suppose a couple of those 500gigs in Raid 0 would do the trick as well though, but then there's the failure rate issue. Raid 0+1 mebbe, but that's 4 drives so fuck that too meh
