DDR3 processor?
My money is on the spinpoint and the deskstar?
Spinpoint every time.
However dont rule out the caviar blue/blacks.

They all all come in at the same price so have a read around for some reviews :)

A DDR3 processor eh? Well in THAT case, buy 2 of each and put them in a RAID 5 array. But instead of just ONE operating system, run TWO of them! Have them virtualized so that the Linux VM can access the Windows host's RAID. However, to make windows do RAID 5 you need the server edition...

/sarcasm

You should read this, it's most helpful, just not in comparing the two hard drives mentioned.
