Good game systems = good vid cards + heaps of memory.
A good video card is one of many things a good gaming system
requires. You also need a powerful mainboard including a fast CPU
and lots of RAM.
Sure there is a difference (if you can count nano seconds) but
there is other hardware more important to a game only system than
a drive.
Sounds like speculation based on no experience.
I am currently using a 37 GB 10,000 RPM Raptor (thanks to Jan Alter
for the recommendation). I don't need lots of disk space and I very
much enjoy the extra speed and (alleged) reliability.
A good gaming system requires lots of high-performance equipment.
The simple fact that a hard disk drive is a fundamental piece of
hardware suggests that a high performance drive will enhance any
computer, and especially a gaming computer. That's the way I see it
after two weeks of use. Me like. If you enjoy high performance, if
you use your computer a lot, and disk size is not important, you
definitely should have one. I should have had one before, but I
didn't know they existed.
When I boot Windows, the Windows logo with the progress indicator
doesn't even start the animation. The drive is well defragmented,
but I think much of the speed is due to the 10,000 RPM disk.
