ok my next comp is going to be a gaming machine, and i know that you need a good HDD in order to get good performance out of your whole system. i am thinking of getting a 36.7GB 15,000 RPM HDD for all games and applications requiring higher speeds and a cheaper, larger HDD for everything else. as well, whats the difference between an 80-pin and 68-pin HDD? What is considered a decent latency time for HDDs now? EDIT: is there a significant difference between 10,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM?
