Geoff VIP Member Jul 11, 2006 #6 What OS are you loading on? If XP I would go with the 5400RPM, if anything short I would go with the 7200RPM.

Cromewell Administrator Staff member Jul 14, 2006 #10 just e-mail, and surf the web Click to expand... then go with the less expensive one. and transfers will be quicker Click to expand... yeah with all that blistering fast transfer speed you need when you surf the web... Laptops surf and email as fast as anything else and they generally have a 5400RPM drive or even a 4200RPM
