I am building a new computer for gaming. I am interested in the
difference in preformace between 10,000 and 7200 RPM drives? Are there
relaibility issues with the 10,000 rpm drives and are they worth the
money? My new system is a 3.4ghz with a 800 front side bus, 1g of
3200ddr ram and a Geforce 5900 video card.
Thanks for the input.

Not in my opinion.

For gaming put your money into the processor and graphics card and
make sure you have enough memory (512MB+) - the HD will only make the
game load a little faster.

as a previous poster mentioned, it will load the games faster.
If you are looking to spawb for planes, etc. before everyone else, get two
10K drives and run raid :)

If this was meant to say "spawn for games" then the quickest way is to
load the entire game into a ramdrive - thousands of times faster than
any disk.

You can load the game, but it's all the maps that take up all the room.
Maps are rather large and even 1G would be full.
However, can you reccommend a ramdrive, thanks.
Though, the game I play they stall spawns until everyone is in :)
