I want the fastest drive possible, I don't care about size.....i'll get a second drive for my media. I want a fast drive for XP and for my programs. Thats why I wanted to go with the 74GB 10,000RPM WD raptor, and a 400 GB second drive. The problem is that the 74gb 10,000rpm drive only comes with the 8MB buffer, so my question was is it worth the 8mb buffer to get the 10,000rpm's???
