If you really want high performance, an 18 or 36 gig 10K drive is great. But, there could be cooling problems. 10K improves latency. The throughput doesn't necessarily increase, although the 10K drives usually are pretty high performance in all areas. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
