Only time I'll buy a Raptor is when it's 15K RPM and SATAII.

Seems you can only spout and thread crap about stuff you don't own or use, considering the rig in your sig. And comparing a $450 drive to a $140 drive? Get real.........but I suppose this is only what one can expect from the 15 year old know-it-alls on the forums here.

The regular 74gb raptor beats the 150gb. The only thing the 150gb is faster in is large data transfers. The 74gigers are always faster in any small data and access times.

I never was much of a fan of the Raptors, but with the new revision being pretty cheap (and I didn't realize it was right up there with the new 150GB, though I wouldn't consider a 36GB due to its small size, costs, and that its not much faster than modern 7200rpm drives) I might.
I hear these are pretty good for games. Would BF2 load a lot faster and have less stuttering? Or would I be better off going from 3x512mb to 4x512mb? I never see my max RAM usage go over 1.5GB, but it takes forever to load and I get some major freezes sometimes at the start of the game.
