I am about to order a white MacBook, and to my understanding, Apple only ships 5400RPM drives with it. If I go out and buy this drive (My local computer store), will I notice a speed increase (It's 7200RPM)? Or will I be better off spending the money on RAM?
PS: Is that the right kind of drive? Does the Macbook use SATA or PATA?
Edit: Does Samsung make good drives? I can get a 320GB 5400 for 145 bucks, good deal if 7200 isn't that big an increase.
Edit 2: If that link does't work, it's a 160GB 7200RPM SATA 2.5" Seagate.
