Switching from a 5400rpm drive to a 7200rpm made a (relatively) huge
difference in speed to my iMac. If you can afford a 7200rpm laptop
drive (if possible with an 8MB or larger cache), go for it. Otherwise,
just getting the largest (capacity) hard drive you can find will make
things better, as OS X won't be as likely to run out of space and start
fragmenting all your files.
Cheers,
Ben

How big a benefit is it to swap the original 4200rpm 40GB
drive for a 5400 rpm ? What about a 7200rpm drive ???
Losing a few GB isn't crucial if it makes a big difference...
