I'm going to appologise in advance as this could be (probably is) a common question but I've been researching this section of the forums for a week now without convincing myself either way.

My ageing Diamonmax Plus 9 needs to go to HD heaven and I'm ready to buy a replacement. I've heard good things about the 320gb 7200.10 and was ready to buy one when I couldn't help thinking how much better the 150gb Raptor would be.

As I use the PC mainly for gaming (rather than mass storage) would I really be better off spending the extra cash on the Raptor despite the smaller capacity or would the 7200.10 be the best investment?

I'm using a DFI UT NT4 Ultra-D with an Opty @ 2.7ghz so I'm guessing the mobo would "take advantage" of the sata2 speed. Going on that would you suggest I save some money and go for the 7200.10?
