Windows 7 - Adding another Raptor

I am running win xp pro and already have one WD Raptor drive, but am
thinking of getting another one. Not sure if mine is the 8mb or the 16mb,
but I bought it at least a couple of years ago. The current one is 74gb.
Anyhow, in looking to get another 74gb one, I noticed that there were the 2
different versions, one with 8 and 16mb's. So my question is, is there that
much difference that it is worth shelling out an extra $50 for the 16mb
model? The one I currently have has worked fine, and heck, after all, it is
a raptor. I use these drives to run my OS, Photoshop, games, etc... Thoughts
on this please? Thanks much.

I believe there is more difference than buffer size: one of the models
is made for home use and implements very thorough  error recovery that
takes a long time  (minutes?); the other model is made for RAID use
where long timeouts  will  cause the RAID to consider the disk totally
dead. The latter is proper behavior for some enterprise environments
where the the operator swaps in a new disk and there is automagic
recovery of the RAID. I suggest you go the the Western Digital web site
and read about the disks, then make an informed decisions.

It should have appeared like that in graphics software, like Photoshop, as well, if you were using the correct ICC Profile. What have you embedded into the files when you were using Photoshop? I use sRGB or BruceRGB. If you have been using the correct ICC profile on poor contrast, after hacking the ICC profiles on all devices, I would correct them in Photoshop, using Curves. ss. Photo Galley uses some "standard" color profile while Photoshop is capable of using many different which should give better results. How much control you have in Photoshop and how easy it easy to change depends on what version you're using. The last several versions of Photoshop have more refined color management features. I wouldn't use Photo Galley to print from browse your photos. You already have the best photo enhancement software on the planet in Photoshop. Do all your adjustment and PRINTING from it.
