What Mac are you running now Tom?
I have a Quad i7 Mac mini, that's pretty fast.
I just set a Quad i5 iMac up for a friend and that is pretty quick.
I would have thought a second Firewire HD like a G Tech 2 or 4Gb drive would be fine. My Mac Mini handles 100Mb images with no issues in Adobe Photoshop Cs5.
I even opened 1,800 NEF's from my D200 all at once. It did take about 28 Minutes to save them all to JPEG but I felt that was reasonable for THAT many images.

Why did you open 1800 images at once?
If you wanted to convert them to jpeg why not run the image processor script?
