Quick hard drive question

And I don't think it's been addressed in this forum. Would the 60GB 5400RPM outperform the 60GB 7200RPM HD? I've heard that the 5400RPM model has a 16MB cache, and wondering if that will make a difference.

No way, no how. I've used both, the 7200 beats the 5400 hands down.
