does a hard drive speed really matter for the avaerage computer user? I have a Dell Inspiron 1200- -running Windows XP. It came with a 30 gig HD @ 5400 RPM. Would it really make a big difference to go to a 60 gig HD at 4200 RPM.
Remember this is an average user not really needing the big burst of speed. Not into a lot of special extras.
Another thing.
Can I change the Ultra ATA HD with an ATA HD?
