I have a 1.33ghz Powerbook bought around January 2005. I am really disgusted with my crappy 4200RPM 60GB hardrive, and feel it is REALLY driving back the performance of my system. I use DP a lot and use it for audio, and other multimedia functions.
Basic Specs:
1.33ghz
768MB PC2700 DDR 333
Hitachi Travelstar 60GB 4200RPM (gross!)
Would it be possible for me to install a 7200RPM hardrive? I know it can handle 5400RPM, but would 7200 get too hot, or would the power supply be able to handle it? I know exactly how to disassemble my powerbook, and have been a computer technician for HP/Foxconn (aka I know what I'm doing). By this point, I'm not caring too much about the warranty, and I don't want to pay Mac prices. I'd rather do it all myself.
So again, would 7200RPM be applicable? Need advice. Thanks.

EDIT: At the time I purchased the powerbook, the hardrive options were only 4200rpm and 5400rpm on the site. Just keep that in mind.
