going to buy a scsi drive to improve linux GUI performance

[estesflyer]

well folks, I've decided to buy a scsi drive to improve linux GUI performance... I just want it to run as fast as windows, or even faster...

I've looked around, and am keeping an eye on Maxtor's Atlas 10k III. (it's 18.4 gigs or something... around 4.4 ms, 10k rpm, nice drive...)
I found it for 202 bucks (us) - no shipping charges w/ 5 year warrantee!

Any other suggestions for hardrives?

My old hardisk was the IBM deskstar 60GXP 40 gig 7200 rpm 8.5 ms seek time..

not a bad drive, but it's just not fast enough to run KDE or ximian gnome as fast as windows!

I think, scsi drive would not improve gui speed. Just in the case, when you swap a lot, but than will better way be buing more ram. What gfx do you use? What's your hw config. IMB scsi disc works fine for me, but I selected it because of large databases, no gui. I think, it's really no good way for you.
