It is annoying when the thing is revving up to like 4 trillion RPMs just to load a game's intro and also randomly rev up during a game (and heats the air up to like 17,000º around it giving your room an extra heater haha)... so yeah, it helps, but of course, eats the living crap out of your memory (for us 20 gig-ers with lots of downloaded games as seen in the video above: GTAIV = 6.9gigs? Bad news for any sub-Elite owners with the normal hard drive)... but ah well.
