You're right. I probably should spend time on thinking about $$ too. Otherwise, it would be unfair to not to mention the 15K SAS drives
.
To be honest, there is nothing I'm doing on my computer that requires a few seconds gain. The reason I asked the question is simply because I'm an impatient person. As long as I can afford it, I wouldn't mind spending a few more bucks to make my computer boots faster, my application comes up faster and software updates install faster. I guess I probably should spend more time on doing software tunings than pouring $$ into something I might not need at all.
The configuration I'm thinking at the moment is:
- Phenom X4 9350e (wants to stay in 65W TDP, hate CPU fans & save some energy)
- AMD 790FX + SB750 (probably Foxconn)
- 8GB DDR2-800 (save some $$)
- Dual-DVI HD4xxx *2 (don't do much gaming, probably getting the cheapest one)
- Dual Layer DVD Burner (not quite interested in Blu-Ray)
- 24" LCD x2 + 20" LCD x2
As I said, I think I will put all my files in a Drobo and upload to Amazon S3. So, I suppose I need nothing more than a system drive for storage. How would you say getting the Seagate ST3500320AS for Vista?
