Re: xbox and ps3 are better than any pc
You can't take near the potential out of a computer with a slow 100 dollar hard drive. I have 4 raptors in raid, its the best thing i've ever done, other then a serious waste of money my computer bakes past most and its not even near the fastest out.

Re: xbox and ps3 are better than any pc
yeah having windows load in 10 seconds and maps loading faster is the only advantage to a hard drive..... Like I Said unless you play your games at shitty *** low resolutions none of that ---- makes a difference all the newer games are purely video card dependent at any resolution above 1280x as long as the rest of your computer isnt a horrible bottlekneck. Look at any reviews of any game on a gamer site and youll see the more you crank up your resolution the less the rest of the pc has to do with it being fast

It's a great way to waste money, though.
