    But SATA II offers hope that eventually 15000rpm hard-drives may make the desktop market.... of course their price, limited size, and incredible heat makes them limited in application. But hey, I didn't list price in that list before. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

      Maybe I'm a slightly more realistic idealist than most? ;) Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

        The 21.3 inch Samung 213T is pretty near nirvana, especially for $700. Of course now I'm holding out for the 30" Cinema - unless Samsung comes out with something cheaper ;)... Tom Ollar blix: more native than native

            I got the Travelstar 100Gb 7200rpm - not sure of the model number but I think there was only 1. It's great. Battery life is (obviously) reduced a little, but nothing painful, and it's a little noiser (in that I can actually hear the drive now, whereas the previous was silent) but I'm very happy. cheers, Chris Maunder

              Yeah... the ones I am looking at are Travelstar 100GB 7200rpm drives... two different models of it though... and I can't find any info on the difference. Has it given a decent performance improvement? Regards, Brian Dela :-) Blog^ Co-author of The Outlook Answer Book... Go on, order^ it today!

                Startup is definitely quicker, as are VS2005 builds. However, I up'd RAM from 750Mb to 1.5Gb at the same time so that's helping things too. cheers, Chris Maunder
