Hi Peter,

Hard drive speeds are the biggest obstacle in fast computing.
It is the only device that is mechanical, where friction and RPM has
big effect.
10,000 RPM is taking it to the extremes, and might be un-reliable drive,
where heat, friction and precession are big factors.
I believe if you shop around, you can get that hard drive for about $240.
> BTW, I think you have heard about the 64bit CPU and 64 bit XP
I did hear about and been reading about it.
The biggest problem is even MS doesn't have a 64 bit programming
language. They haven't been even talking about it.
I think 64 bit is going to take much longer transition than when
Win 95 first came out.
Hardware and software took almost a year to catch up after Win 95 release.
Had to wait four months to get a compatible Motherboard and video card.

You are very right, but I am a developer, and have to be ready
for what is ahead.
Dual core and 64 bit is going to be an attraction for many users.
