I am wanting to purchase a really fast desktop computer but do not know what makes the computer fast. Am I looking for a large hard drive, a large memory, or what?

A large drive is a big spaces for you to store files, docs, and program into it.
A large or big or fast memory for your memory process. Even your memory are big or fast it doesnt mean your computer are fast enough. You also need a best or higher speed Processor to look for.
For me A RAM or Memory and Processor are really need to calculate with and also look into my pocket isit worth or not ;)
The Answer is Memory and Processor must be the first...

the processor has to be Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo E6700 or higher. a large hard drive with a large cache. most hard drives i have seen say 7200rpm..... speed.... higher the better, the larger the cache the better.i think that SATA 2 is the new fast type hard drive. memory would be GDDR3 @ 800MHz. most i have seen come with GDDR2 @667 or 800 MHz . 800 is faster. 667 is good. GDDR3 is the latest type of memory and supposed to be faster but GDDR2 is good too. the larger the watts are on the power supply the better.will save you from having to replace so quickly as you upgrade.you can have all the fastest , greatest components, but if you have crappy graphics card it wont do you a bit of good. i have 2 8800gt in SLI. SLI is where you can use two graphics cards together. they also have a motherboard ( 780iSLI, i think) that have space for three graphics cards .listed below is a great site with alot of helpful info and charts for your comparison

Fast Quad core processor. Alot of memory. Fast hard drive and good graphics will all help
Memory and processor are the top of your list. hard drive will help programs open and save faster.
graphics card will improve graphic apps and games
