i can confirm this, i never thought having half of a 320gb hard drive full mattered (i had 190gb of data) but switching to a 500gb hard drive with the exact same cache level cut down on loading times by a good 30%
today they have 32mb cache hard drives for very reasonable prices and that can help you a lot, a 500gb @ 32mb cache sata 3.0 goes for $80
a 4gb set of (2x2gb) ram your computer will help you a lot too if your board will support it, if not then get a 2gb set of (2x1gb) ram
