Linux Installation with SCSI Drive

[Ronald]

I often try out (installing) Linux distributions, so
this is an I/O intensive operation (writing to the drive).

Would using SCSI drive significantly improve the installing
time? (halve it?)

FYI currently I use Seagate 7200.7 80 GB and to get
full 3 GB install takes around ~10 to 20 minutes.

Motherboard is Abit KG7-Raid which doesn't have inbuilt
SCSI adapter, so I have to buy a separate adapter.
CPU is Athlon XP 2400+ with 512 MB RAM.

And the drive I want to get is probably
Seagate Cheetah 15K.3: 18 GB, 15,000 prm Ultra320 SCSI
