As well as the 7200 rpm HD, decided to get a G4 upgrade (550 MHz) from Daystar which we are currently debugging. Others have written highly of the upgrade, anticipate being able to do so soon!
Will advise progress.

I was thinking about getting a new book because i'm beginning to feel
how slow my book is getting. If a faster drive will make a significant
boost in speed, maybe I'll just replace the dying HD.

with the larger cache and faster access, the drive is accessed less,

battery life, but have been delighted to have neither side effect.
Do they have larger than 60GB drives yet at 7200 rpm? I currently have an 80GB Hitachi TravelStar in my PowerBook and love the speed boost, and can see upgrading again when Tiger comes out as I'll be doing a clean OS install anyway.
You can certainly feel a faster hard drive but it won't make your machine a
new one all of a sudden. Speed is relatively subjective...
