Thanks for your wisdom on this to help educate the total ignormases (ignorami??) such as yours truly.
I don't even see where it says 'rpm' for the hard-drive.
I just see 40GB or 80GB.

Most drives are now 5400 rpm unless they say 6200 or higher.
Aas for teh 7200rpm vs. 5400rpm, think of an LP spinning at 33 and how much faster it can play through at 45. Faster speed means faster drive. In most cases larger drive means faster drive too. A 250gb drive at 5400rpm is faster in most applications than a 40gb at 7200rpm (think about this - physical area is the same!)
