Re: Should I pull the trigger?

I'm not the brightest when it comes to this subject, but I believe that when the computer needs to find something saved to the hard drive (something not currently in the RAM), the hard drive spins around and the processor picks out the sections of data that are stored. The difference between a 5400 and a 7200rpm hard drive means that the drive spins 33% faster meaning you get your info quicker. Defragmenting your drive can also speed your computer up by placing data the belongs together near each other.
Am I close?

yes everytime a program or whatever needs to access it your hard drive will have to spin to wherever its stored. so the more information you need from the hard drive the more important this is. poker tracker and gt+ will obviously benefit from the higher rpms
