Upgrading my hard drive....
I just added some RAM to my iBook (from 512 to 768) and i also want to upgrade the hard drive, so i was wondering wich is better, to have more RPM or to have a bigger cache. I was thinking about buying a Toshiba with 40gb (i don't need a bigger drive) with 16mb of cache and 5400rpm, but i was looking and i can get a similar capacity, less cache (8mb) but 7200rpm. So, please, any advise is welcome, more RPMs or bigger cache?
