I often use quickpar on par2 sets and winrar on huge rar archives. What would be my best bet to improve the performance of these tasks? Are they mostly CPU bound or hard-disk bound? I currently am running a intel pentium 805 not overclocked(mobo sucks) with a 300gb maxtor sata hard drive. What should be the first thing I upgrade?
BTW I've tried a comparison of unraring the same archive on the maxtor drive and then on a 74gb raptor, and most of the time it's just barely faster on the raptor 74gb -- so is the cpu the issue?
Thanks
