Whats the benefit of having a HD that spins at 10,000 RPM compared to 7,200 RPM? Do they have an effect on gaming?

I am very clueless when it comes to techie stuff, but I just purchased a Gateway laptop with these specs and it's really slow, even when it comes to typing..

80GB Parallel ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)

64MB HyperMemory (total of local and shared system memory used by GPU); high-definition audio (2-channel)

Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g); 10/100 Mbps

Ethernet LAN with RJ-45 connector; high-speed V.92 data/fax modem

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Edition operating system preinstalled; software package included with Microsoft Works 8.5, CyberLink DVD Solutions and Adobe Acrobat Reader

**i upgraged to 1.5GB now of RAM, and I though that would help it go faster, but it didn't.. Vista i think is pre-installed and I don't know how to go back to just XP, i personally don't really give a d*mn about Vista.. You think Vista makes it slow? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!☺

I was just wondering if a processor comes in a motherboard when you buy it or do you have to buy it separately.

I was comparing people and on one question, it said "Voting is anonymous" or something like that and then on this next question (Who is more cuddly), there was a checked box that said "Ok to tell winner how you voted."

Does that mean its anonymous or what? Does the anonymity depend on the question or does that checked box mean something else other than tell the person you voted for them?

I am reformatting my computer. I have the Windows XP disk with the code. I insert it in the computer, then restart. When I get to the screen that says "press any key to boot from CD" I do that.

BUT... than I get a blue screen. It says "Windows Setup" at the top and then never does anything else. I have waited up to an hour for it to do something. I have tried hitting ENTER, but it doesn't do anything.

The disk is brand new - I have another disk, and it did the same thing. So I bought the new one (also because I didn't have the code) so I don't think it's a problem with the disk.

The instructions I have say (once I tell it to boot from the CD):
"From here, you will be prompted by the computer at each step.
"A. Choose the "Install Windows" option.
"B. Select your current partition and press "d" to delete it
"C. Create a new partition by pressing "c"
etc...

BUT I never even get to an "Install Windows"option! Any ideas?
