512mB pc2100 ram
onboard video(Geforce2?)
5400rpm hdd, 66mb/s

Intel's are indeed more reliable, AMD's are more suited for gaming and thigns of that nature.

But back to the 10K RPM HDD.

Firstly, speed is NOT everything when concerning a hard drive. You have to take into consideration it's cache size, latency, seek time, and write time. There's some hard drives that are 7,200RPM that could beat a 10,000RPM hard drive.
