Opinion on WD Raptor 150GB 10K RPM

I'm considering putting a Raptor 150GB 10K RPM HD in my upcoming Mac Pro as the primary OS drive. I know this drive is only 1.5 Gb SATA, but I figure the higher RPMs will still make it better than the OEM drive. I have the 76GB Raptor in my G4 and the difference was noticeable.
Any informed opinions out there? Good idea? Bad idea?

MacBook Pro 17", Mac OS X (10.4.6), Quicksilver G4, iBook G4, numerous other Macs over the years. . .

Aaron,

I think you will be very happy with that setup, but happier still once you throw more RAM into that Mac Pro!

... we don't want to see anyone's system on a near-starvation diet. 🙂
