now i am not trying to act all smart and crap, but doesn't having programs open up fast have alot to do wiht harddrive speed? i mean yea, processor is involved but, a FX-60 couldn't do everything instantaniously with a normal harddrive, it would need a 15,000RPM harddrive or mebbe even just a 10K RPM harddrive... am i correct? |

Having a fast RPM HDD allows for a faster read/write speed. So if you're accessing data off your harddrive it's an advantage. Sometimes however opening a program uses very little HDD activity, the information might mainly be in RAM. Having alot of RAM helps, having a fast FSB/HTT helps, having a fast CPU helps, etc. There's countless things that can be upgraded to improve operating system speed. Having dual CPU's is no advantage unless you can take advantage of both of them, for practical purposes. He might be running dual P3's, which is nothing compared to a single A64 processor for the most part. Now if he were running dual Xeon's that were pretty recent that's more impressive, but it's FAR AWAY from a "super computer."
