    i got the 3000 64 processor and 512 ram(1 chip). I ordered the smallest HD because i want to go to a 7200 rpm model. How much performance difference will i notice with this. i do digital photograpy and web surfing mostly. but i hate waiting. Also what is a good HD to get?

    For those I doubt you will see any real gains in performance, windows will load slightly faster as well as programs like photoshop, but for what you do I don't think it would be worth it.

    I think fuji makes a good 7200rpm drive though if you do upgrade it.
