    which one is better? i configured mine with the 7200rpm i was reading around the forums and found that...
    "That said, I'd rather have a higher capacity 5400RPM drive, for the same cost as a lower capsity 7200. The higher density on the 5400 RPM will almost make up for the performance difference and you get more storage space. " -jak3676

    so for sager np2090...do their haves have "high density"?
    made me thinking.
    in particular...im trying to decide between the
    160gb sata harddrive at 5,400 rpm for 60$
    or the
    120gb sata 3gb/s seagate momentus 7200.2 hd at 7200rpm for 70$s

    the 7200rpm drives have minimal effects on battery life and heat on the 2090 too yea?
    (i plan to play games, listen to music, play around with photoshop..nothing extensive there
    im an info systems major...college laptop)
