going into a folding machine...5400rpm worth the bump over 4200rpm, and is 7200rpm worth it? your "recommendations"...also, if you happen to have one to sell me, let me know

(i'm sorry BobbyDigital, but techies may not visit classifieds!)

in my experience disk speed makes a huge difference. i have a 10000 rpm drive in my desktop and it makes linux incredibly zippy. so i recommend going as fast as possible, but keep in mind that faster also means noisier and more expensive.
