cool, do raptors really make a difference?

I switched from a 320gb 16mb cache WD IDE drive to my 74gb 8mb cache WD Raptor and it is noticably faster

Opening a 4gb .rar file went from about 9 seconds to about 3 seconds.

plus 10k RPM drives don't last as long as 7200 ones sooooo.... hehe...

where is proof of that statement?

if they dont why does WD give them a 5 year warranty instead of the 1-3 year warranty on their other drives?

no it was a 4gb file broken up into about 100 pieces(movie rar), it took 9 seconds to compile so i could extract it with the old drive and only takes 3 seconds with the raptor

mehhh I would much rather have raid 0 +1 if I was gonna go that route. Or just have a backup drive before I even considered raid 0.

pretty nice monitor do you mind me asking how much you paid for it?
Also I'm a gamer but I just reformatted and haven't downloaded xfire since. I play WOW and CS though....if you play either of those games we'll talk further. lol

I picked up that 1080i 27" for $400 at the time from CompUSA. Not sure what they go for now, but at the time it seemed like a great deal, although I still prefer using a 21" CRT Sony Triniton FD for gaming since it has a much faster response / refresh rate for smoother gameplay IMO.
