wch is why linux is so nice... onceyou get to know it...
I don't think it will load fast/
Some people get a small HDD with a fast rpm and load their OS off of that and use another HDD for programs/..
It's not that fast. HDDs are mainly slow due to seek times.
If you want something fast, I recall Gigabyte released some "drive" which is built on a few RAM modules - when turned off, as long as you keep the PC plugged into the wall socket, apparently, there's enough power to keep the contents of the RAM.
