With the cache stored on the hard drive Firefox initially starts up slightly faster and the first time (in that session) you load a website it loads faster.
The advantage of memory is once you visit a web site it loads almost instantly and after you load a site it's sub-pages seem to load very fast even the first time. Every time you exit Firefox it resets though.. so next time you start it it needs to completely reload them to memory.
7200 RPM (secondary) hard drive, 8 gig of very fast ram.
