10,000 RPM HD. Does it really make a difference?

and make sure your OS swap files and your PS and FCP scatch files occupy the outermost tracks of the Raptor(s).

How do you accomplish that?

An access increase of 38.89% is definitely going to make itself felt. Does anyone have any idea when these speeds will become available options as boot drives?

15k RPM SCSI drives are the way to go .

I can dream...

Actually 15K SCSI drives are not that horribly priced. I picked up 15K Fujitsu MAX series 74gig drives for about $220. Let me tell you they are fast!
