You may have the latest processor and graphics card but there is always bottleneck at the hard disk. Would it be smarter to invest in a moderate processor,graphics card and get a raid? What are your thoughts on this? I think one of the biggest problems on computers is waiting for the hard disk to stop churning when it is doing something in the background. My PC seems to hang as I need to wait for the access to stop before I can use my computer. My computer is around 4 years old and has a Segate 80GB 7200 RPM drive. I was thinking of upgrading but am wondering if I should invest in a raid drive?

I just purchased a new Dell Diminsion E521 and I didn't order the DVD burner because I already had a nice Sony DL burner. Get my new computer and I have a problem - the new computer has SATA connections and the burner is ATAPI. No problem, I'll just get one of those IDE to SATA adapters. I plug everything in and fire up the computer and I have one little problem. Not only does the drive not work, but Windows doesn't even see it.

I know the drive works fine because I just used it about a week ago with my XP computer and it worked just fine.

The drive is a Sony DRU-820A which is about a year old. And I did check to verify that the jumper on the drive was set to master.

New computer is a Dell Dimension E521 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

Any thoughts on what I can do short of buying an IDE expansion card or buying a new drive?

Interested in upgrading my Pentium 4. So far AMD seems to offer the better value, but I hear they have a problem with overheating. If you have any experience with an AMD processor, or know of a great budget chip I would love to hear about it.
