If you really want to know about 5400vs 7200rpm hard drives, I used them both as matter of fact I have them both.
I used to have acer laptop and windows was installed from ghost cd, everytime when I used 100gb 5400 rmp hard drive...
So far 3dmark 03 and 05 showed that there is no difference between 5400 and 7200 rpm in scores
HD tach shows 7200rpm for like first 20gb is better but after that 5400 performs better
I have dell 9300 with nivdia 6800 go and would like to get a graphic driver other than the dell supplied one
I went to nivida website and download 77.xx something but during installation I got message drive can't be installed, I guess...
I just recieved 9300 with hitachi 60gb 7200rpm hard drive, I also have laying around seagate 100gb 5400rpm hard drive
My question what bechmarks do I use to see how they peform, both hard drive will be tested in same laptop
Acer travelmate 4500 with upgrated cpu from 1.5 to 2.0, Memory from 512mb to 1gb low lattecency, Hard drive from 40gb hard drive 4200rpm to 100gb 5400rpm drive, funny scores I got

3dmark 2003 110
