    2.6.75a are my omega drivers... whats the dif from 2.6.71? Runs good though. Also, i hooked up my external 100gig that i backup to and do my video editing with, and well i x-fered about 9 gigs or data in less than 10 mins.... thats 2.0

    Might have to at least get a 5400 rpm... you get less battery life with your 7200?

    I don't know about the differences between drivers, can you run 3dMark05 so we can compare scores?

    There is no noticeable difference between battery life going to a 7200rpm from a 5400rpm, and I really took note of the before and after performance.
