Ok only looked for a few minutes, but as far as I can tell a 'raptor' is just a type of WD, right? Also just to be sure I wasn't mistaken before, but it seems like the Athlon 64 3200 kicks the XP 3200's ass in all situations, so I figure it would be just as comparable between the 3000's. For 15 dollars more It really doesn't matter to me. I'm not trying to defy you, I'm just trying to figure out which is better, and wanted to show you why I thought what I did. Is my idea right, or should I really just stick with the XP. I'm not doing it for anything but the faster speed, and that I can tell all my friends I have a 64 bit processor. What do you guys think?
