Hi all,
I'm trying to build a new computer and I'm just wondering how much of a difference does a 7200rpm vs. 5400rpm HD make in a computer?
I'm looking at getting a new computer with an Athlon XP between 1800+ and 2000+; 256 MB DDR-SDRAM 333; MSI GeForce4 Ti 4400 video card; and a SB Audigy X-Gamer. I have a Western Digital 40GB 5400rpm HD that I would still like to use. Will I see a drastic decrease in performance if I don't use a 7200rpm HD? Would it be wiser to use a 7200rpm HD to make the system more balanced? Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
Pareez
