Hey, I finally got my system to work with my new WD Raptor 74GB. However, it doesn't seem THAT much faster than my previous WD 120GB 7200 IDE drive I was using. Installing software seems to be about the same length of time, so I'm wondering if maybe I messed something up with the bios settings, or windows install.. so which benchmark can I use to see if I'm getting the correct MB/sec?

Which HDD Benchmark?

Transfer rate isn't going to be all that much different between the two drives.
It's the Access time on the Raptor that is so impressive. Should help a good bit with load times, boot times, etc.
