Dang, man. I would love to go to RAID SSD's if I had the cash. I am not entirely sure it is fair to compare your system to anyone else's, considering our old school HDDs are the main, and major bottleneck of all of our systems. :D Yeah I have actually done a LOT with my system since the pics in my sig were taken. I really need to update it but my camera is broken. I have 12 drives total in that system, 2 Striped Raids and a 10.5 TB 8 drive RAID5. I used to due it all the time with movie watching on my computer. I'd set the priority to real-time and kill explorer.exe. But I had a laptop with performance issues. :) Yeah thats a whole nother ball of wax....most mobile chipsets have BIOS level power saving options that most people don't set, not to mention most mobile bus's are choked to death to save power and generate less heat. This equates to poopy levels of performance (yes I referenced poop as a performance reference).
