i seem to be the only tech in town who is advocating 7200 rpm hard drives as real performance boosters.forget ATA-66. ANY 7200 rpm hard drive(i have seen,at least)makes a noticeable difference. i have compared two hard drives(difficult to do, i admit)at ata-33 and 66 and the difference is minimal. but put in a 7200 rpm baby and watch it fly.
P.S. Sandra2000 record on the drive benchmark is now held by a $118.00 Maxtor 15gb 7200 ata-66 enabled drive. Beat out the previous champ my IBM 12.8gb(at about $180.00..)
