Whats my RPM??

[cas146]

I've been considering upgrading the HD on my laptop. I bought it used a few month ago. Its a Sony Vaio PGC-V505EX. I have already upgraded the RAM to 1Gb but its still slow when I start up the notebook. However, I don't know how many RPM the HD runs. How can I find this out? I checked on ebay for the same model notebook and some adds say the HD is 4200RPM others say 5400RPM.

If my HD is running at 5400RPM's then I probably won't upgrade since many people have said that upgrading to 7200RPM won't be all that noticeable. But if I'm running at 4200 well I'm definitely upgrading. Is there some shareware or some software that can show me how fast my HD is running??

Thanks,

The Basics

* Hard Drive: Though not world-beating in size, the 60 GB enhanced-IDE hard drive 4200 RPM offers more than enough storage capacity for road warriors.
* Processor: The 1.5 GHz Pentium M processor is near the top of the speed range compared with other Centrino notebooks (with current speed topping out at 1.7 GHz). Because of its design, the Intel Pentium M gets more done per clock tick than a Mobile Intel Pentium 4, thus providing the discrepancy in GHz measurement (i.e., 1.7 versus 3.2). The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a 512 KB L2 cache and a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB) speed.
