Is my Videocard or Hardrive the problem?

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that when I play games like battlefield badcompany 2, GTA IV, or assassins creed, theres a second delay for textures to load up. For instance, when I'm running in bad company or driving the car, I see a delay in textures in the environment to load up. Do you think its my video card or hard drive? I have a black edition XFX 6870 and a low powered 5900 rpm 1GB hard drive. Do you think an SSD would solve my problem?
 
Do you have a different hard drive to install one of those games on, and see if it solves the issue? After that, do you have a different graphics card you could test, e.g. borrow one from a friend?
 
Unfortunately I don't have another hard drive I can try but I have been thinking about getting an SSD. I have 4GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM also. I might upgrade this to 8 soon as well. I have a feeling its my hard drive since its only spinning at 5900 rpm. Most games run pretty smooth too.
 
In bad company 2, 4 gbs should be enough unless you have a bunch of stuff open in the background. Have you updated your video card drivers?
