Re: My hard drive's fast and big enough for Windows Vista???
said by floydb_1982  :So your saying that 5,400 RPM is just as fast as 7,200 RPM??? It depends on what you're using it for. For short reads and writes that isn't any real difference. Where you'll see the difference is in long reads and writes. After you're booted odds are you won't notice the difference. Most laptop drives are 5,400 RPM.

You can tell the difference any time your computer is making use of the swap file. A large part of windows on my comp for example runs in virt mem aka swap file. But many programs will also make use of the swap even when you have more than enough ram to not use swap file. Then theres the fact that as you can tell many people are in to digital imaging (just need to look at the forum here for digital imaging). 3d art is another place where hd speed will help. DVD encoding ripping cds and mp3 encoding etc.
I suppose if all your doing is web and email chat etc then no you will not notice. But that is only a few % of the population.
