I'm sure there are threads you could dredge up about it but that's the bottom line. The biggest improvement to the above would be going from 4GB to 6-8GB or more of RAM. For today's market, the next biggest improvement would be a fast SSD or a couple of average SSD's in some form of RAID-0. After those two, graphics would be the next upgrade. 9800GT or ATI 4850 being the cheapest solid options.

That help a bit?

Eh, while a fast set of hard drives definitely speeds up load times the biggest thing in those areas is RAM (to me). Why? If you're low on RAM then you'll start going into the page file which is on (gasp) a hard drive!

That's not to say I don't recommend a SSD. Far from it. SSD's rock. I wish I still had mine.
