Question About 10,000 RPM HD

What is the benefit of having a Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000 rpm in a gaming system? Would I still want to leave in my old 60gb HD?

I'm a strick gamer - Call of Duty

Faster load times, that's all a faster drive would give you in games. Games are basically loaded into RAM...not much is actually loaded from the HD during play.
