how much improvment does 7200rpm have over 4200rpm harddrives? I read some mac forum and a few user said the 5400rpm is almost as fast as the 7200rpm ones, what you do guys think of that?

if your using Final Cut Pro or Avid, etc then its helps to have that faster revolution, if not... eh... you can live without it...

i use photoshop, flash, and lightwave most of the time... I found photoshop struggles when I working with a, lets say 50mb file...

In 2006, I'd be hard pressed to accept a slow drive like 5400rpm (especially with a large drive).

7200 is sufficient for most things, though.

I've got a 10,000RPM Western Digital Raptor.

That doesn't necessarily mean you need a new drive. What about ram, for example?

there's an obvious bit of maths that can be applied there...
