[QUOTE="mac57, post: 541004, member: 17052"] You would likely notice more of an improvement from upgrading to the 7200 RPM hard drive, but pay careful attention to the amount of cache on the drive. The biggest "bang for the buck" will come if you get one with lots of cache (8 MB or more). Once you have the faster hard drive under your feet, you will notice that applications may launch a little faster and things may generally run a bit faster, but like snoslicer said, you are already well situated for RAM, which is the item that normally makes the biggest improvement.
