WD Raptor 74G or SATA II ICQ drive?

Hi,

I am planning my new system and am wondering whether I should go for a WD Raptor 74G or a SATA II with ICQ hard drive (planning to get the new nForce 4 Gigabyte MOBO as soon as it comes out, so yes, it supports SATA II / ICQ). Performance is the only consideration (fast boot, fast read / write, ...), regardless of price and capacity. I know ICQ's benefits will really show only when software is updated to take advantage of it, but at the moment and in the near future, which would be most performant?

Regards,
Dave
 
Agreed, i have the Raptor drive, and it is by far the fastest drive i've ever used.
Those ICQ drives do not have the super low seek times the raptor does, and they also aren't as fast. 🙂
