For me, It has before taken the same amount of time to load on a sata drive vs an IDE drive, but you're right, I may have had a slow sata drive and a fast IDE. But adding ram that i had laying around did improve the speed, in my case:/

I mean whenever you click the Build option and it bring up a window and says "initializing build. This may take a while" for 3 minutes before the status bar moves past 0%.


What I suggested was overkill for just programming, but if you're doing high-resolution animations and rendering, it works pretty well.
