I recently built a brand new lynfield cpu 2.66 quad core w/4gigs of gskill ripjaws, gigbyte p55a-ud3 & it seems a bit sluggish when web browsing & instantly opening up progs. Where is the bottleneck is it in the hdd's? That is all I havent changed yet. I have two SATA hdds in RAID 0. Will that make the big difference? If so which drives will help me get what Im looking for?
 
Make a sig with your system specs in it so people have more info to go on. What kind of drives are they? What OS?
 
Guys read my post. They are just plain SATA drives. Old Hitachi 80 gigs X 2. Im looking for around 300 that can outperform them in everyday real world tasks & gaming load times ect.
 
You're asking about bottlenecks for things that wouldn't seem to be bottlenecked very often so we're asking for more info before we recommend anything. Hard drives are of course the slowest thing in any system, so speeding them up is going to provide benefits - any modern hard drive is going to significantly outperform any generic 80 gig hard drive. Get a WD Caviar Black drive in whatever capacity you need - that will massively speed up your hard drive speed, but it is an open question whether that will clear up the bottleneck you percieve.
 
Im saying its a bottleneck bc all my other parts are new. And wow...These quad cores speed gaming up immensely. I saw a massive difference in gaming coming from my dual cores @2.8 with Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. The game runs like silk with everything at max settings & it almost feels like a brand new game! Its amazing....
