Lets talk networking, and bus speeds... its all about hardware anyways.

The speed gain would be worth it...

Yes and No

And some of us are stepping back to XP as a result

Other articles have claimed XP SP3 widens the chasm

Not on all drives.
Bozzer | 02/13/08

Unlikely to have any impact either way.
ye | 02/13/08

How about this scenario?
IMHOYAAAH | 02/13/08

Drive cache is almost irrelevant for reading.
ye | 02/13/08

Citation please?
bmerc | 02/13/08

Read-ahead disk caching not very effective.
mickrussom@... | 02/13/08

I don't have a citation. Please research the issue yourself if...
ye | 02/13/08

It depends on what you're doing.
Wolfie2K3 | 02/13/08

Different drive.
ye | 02/13/08

SATA II: NCQ
Mitch 74 | 02/13/08
|
|
NCQ not true
eriksmalley | 02/13/08
|
|
I don't think NCQ has anything to do with it.
ye | 02/13/08
|

Ok I had to test it
laxamar | 02/14/08

Can you clarify your benchmark methodology?
