Alright, this in kind of a rant, but bear with me. I was thinking about upgrading my system in a few months, and the options looked pretty good. I like the Nforce2 motherboards and the cheap Ahtlon XP's. But then I looked at hard drives. They have barely changed in comparison to processors! In the last two years we have seen processor clock, memory, and frontside bus speeds explode! But as for hard drives, they're still stuck with the same technology! Something has to get faster. Serial ATA sounded great until we found out that it would be barely any faster! It matters a lot less that you have an 800 mb/s connection between the northbridge and southbridge if your hard drive runs at a max of 100 mb/s! I am now not going to upgrade my computer until hard drives get fast enough so that computers can actually utilize their full speed! (well, maybe I will, I'm still kind of tempted) Anyways, there goes my rant!
