I've sorta come to the conclusion that more ram wins out over faster disks (for
the most part).  Any good operating system (read: not Win95) will cache your
disk in the excess ram.  On my PC, mozilla takes a good 30 seconds to load on
first boot; after that its 1-2.  All in all its a sweet drive, but I think you'd
be better off buying 3000$ worth of RAM.
