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

Pretty much the only place you'll see improvement is loading and saving. If you use the almanac and or do monthly dumps it will be faster.
If you tell me how you play I can give you a better estimate if its worth it but in general, if the loading / saving times don't bother you then the extra cash isn't worth it.
