Hi all,
I am close to the above setup (using an OCd, non dual core AMD 3200+).
Just replaced a 7200 SATA 150 Samsung drive, with a 1000 74gb Raptor (still running around 140$ btw). Ive had a hard time telling the difference, is there anyway to double check and make sure the drives running at 10k? Is it even possible for it to run slower than advertised?
I ran aquamark3 on the old setup and new. Only difference is the hard drive. The 7200 shows much higher marks.
