Actually, I gotta disagree on this from personal experience. I've worked as a PC tech for a long time. If your drive is 20%-30% defragmented, you can lose a lot of speed, especially if you're working on large files, like Multimedia. A large file will have to be seperated and scattered around your drive so loading and saving these files can take a bit longer.
Then again, cram that system with tons of ram, and slam another ton of cheap ram for good measure, and who needs a hard drive! hehehe
