I'm looking to build a system on a budget - gaming isn't so important, but it will be used for a lot of Photoshop work and web design stuff. I would love a 74GB Raptor, but obviously they're very expensive compared to regular 7,200rpm drives. Seeing as I'm working to a tight budget, would the Raptor be worth the extra money, or should I go for a regular 80GB drive (capacity isn't important - will be burning most stuff to DVD...) and spend the extra $120ish on more RAM (currently got 1GB dual chan specced) or a faster CPU (currently 3GHz specced)? I really like the idea of a Raptor.....and would really like the fast load/save times......but would it really be worth the extra?
Thanks.
Thanks.
