I'm getting a new laptop and should I go with
160GB with 5400 rpm or
100GB with 7200 rpm for $90 less?
I'm planning on play some game on this laptop (The Sims 2, especially) and here's the config of it:
2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with 256MB SDRAM
Will I notice a big diffrence in speed if I decide to go with the 7200 rpm? Or should I got with more capacity but have the 5400 prm?

The extra 60GB is not worth the loss of speed.
Go with the 7200, it's becoming the industry standard and really, it's the only thing I woudl consider getting.

For the greater 10 money, i might choose for the 7200 RPM. RPM = Revolutions in keeping with Minute hence, the version between 7200 and 5400 is very substantial: 1800 The RPM of the difficult stress shows the cost at which tips is written into the difficult stress.

I would get the 7200 rpm just to be on the safe side. The slower hard drive might hinder the overall performance of your laptop. For more intensive gaming, 7200 rpm is the way to go.

There`s also the longevity and warmth production to think of, especially in a laptop. The merrier it goes around, the faster it consumes bearings... And you seem to have ample amount of memory, so swapping shouldn`t be a problem. Maybe it loads a little slower, but I wouls also opt for the bigger disc. If you decide to do some work onse in a while too, the extra space may come in handy.

I would go with the more speed. If you need the space later, you can get a second drive for the $90 and end up with more space overall.

go with the 7200, you can always buy an external hard drive. it does make a big difference. plus, 90 dollars for 60 gigs is a ripoff anyway, AND it'll be slower.

go for the size as you get more bang for the buck there...the game is not going to run faster on the faster drive...
