i never thought a new hdd would increase my FPS

i just installed my sata raptor 36gig hdd i thought i was using a raptor hdd before but i found out it was a crappy 7200rpm seagate sata drive not a *TRUE* sata drive..

i figured i would atleast buy the real deal since i had a few bucks to spend.

first thing i noticed was installing windows i did not time it but it flew right threw the installation,

i had some time to spend with PCSX2 and i noticed that i get about 8 to 10 more fps on average.

i also noticed on doom 3 the levels load superfast and installing unreal tournament 2003 was fast as well..

i feel as if everything has sped up on my pc since installing the HDD.
