SCSI for my P4?

This is a discussion about SCSI for my P4? in the Windows Hardware category; Well guyz i am thinking of going for a £100ish 18GB 10krpm SCSI drive to use for booting windows and using on a few games. would this improve windows performance at all compared to my 7krpm IBM's? If so is it anoth improvement to sacrifice a weeks wages too? Thanx guyz.
