I'm in the process of building a new computer. I already have a 500 gig drive that I plan on using (Seagate 7200.11), along with a 320 Drive. But since OOTP 2009 will be one of my main games, I'm considering picking up a 74 Gig Raptor that runs at 10,000 RPM's.

Will OOTP see a decent (25% plus) performance increase with the faster drive? I know OOTP is usually file heavy, so I assume the increased read/write speeds would be noticeable.

Anyone have any real world comparisons using both drives with OOTP?

Btw, here are the rest of the specs.

- Case: Antec 900
- MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
- PSU: 650 Watt Corsair
- RAM: 4 GB
- CPU: Intel C2D E8400 3.0 GHZ
- Video: MSI NX8800GTS 512M OC
- Vista Home Prem. 64-bit
