In fact, disk is often more important than the processor!

When building a box, I go for RAM, disk, and processor in that order.
If you don't have enough RAM, performance will blow.  Without enough
storage life becomes boring.  Make that storage large _and_ fast and
life's quite exciting :)

Too many people blow the budget on the processor and then wonder why
the machine isn't as fast as they expected ...
