want FASTER load times!!!

[vinayb]

I just hate it when I have to wait 20 to 35 seconds for quake 4/ scct to load up... any suggestions??

Raptor might be your best bet for load times

Would 2 hard drives in a raid config be faster than a single raptor for load times? Assuming these are fairly speedy, newer SATA II drives?

Defrag.

Or buy a SATA drive.
Microsoft Bootvis helps with loading windows.

How much money do you want to spend?

$0? Defrag
$100? New Serial ATA drive
$1000? SCSI RAID

Fixed.

RAID5 with 3 WD4000YRs would be your best bet for under $1k

But if you have a short supply of cash, at least try to get 1 WD4000YR. It's some serious hardware

i'd say defrag with like diskeeper.
