My HD for my laptop goes 5400 RPM Will a 7200RPM HD Make A Noticeable Difference?

I just got a new Notebook, Toshiba Tecra A8-S8513 (Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83 GHz, 100 GB HD, XP, 2.5 GB RAM). The Hard Drive is FUJITSU MHV2100BH PL with RPM of 5400. I just read where the top laptop Hard Drive RPM is 7200.
As I do not use my Notebook for gaming or graphics work, will I see a noticeable improvement if I upgraded to a Hard Drive that was 7200 RPM. I just download MP3, surf the net via broadband, word process & burn CDs & DVDS. I've never used more then 30 GB's on any computer I've had so space is basically an irrelevant issue for me.

Any info would be appreciated. I was not aware about Hard Drive RPM till I stumbled on an article today. Thanks for your help.

For general use a 5400RPM drive is lots. I doubt you would see much if any difference going to a 7200RPM drive.

I agree, i dont think it would be worth the trouble and money for a 72k drive
