This type of speed upgrade is only if you are serious about rendering as
fast as possible
as it is fairly expensive. SCSI devices, HD, ZIP, CD, etc... are much
faster than
their IDE counterparts because a SCSI controller that you install in your
system moves
some of the work from your CPU to itself. SCSI is more expensive than IDE
though by
about 1 3/4 to 3 times as much depending on what you are buying. I must
say though
that if you are only rendering single frames or every once in awhile that
the cost is not
worth it. I am not a hardware guru, I can just tell the differences since I
have 5 PC's here
from pII300 to p133. I run perf and comparison tests so that I can better
suggest equipment for my work and customers.
