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?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
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.
