    Could you please do some benchmarks with the Radeon 3650? I am curious how much faster is it in numerical term over Radeon 3470.

    What are you sobbing about. You can always upgrade and install a new different harddrive on your own.

    p.s

    Does hard drive speed (rpm) affect movie viewing or game playing?

    or does it only have to do with data trasfering / video editing / burning?
