      Until you realize the impact it has on battery life. At least the upgrade from a 40GB 4200rpm drive to a 60Gb 7200rpm drive sucked the power from my system. I'd never go back, the performance boost is way too dramatic. I hope this means that you will be able to finish the next version of the site quicker. :P

                    Sadly I don't think I'm geek enough to upgrade my notebook HD:( I'm afraid I'd get one that isn't compatible. What model laptop do you have? ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

                                      But SATA II offers hope that eventually 15000rpm hard-drives may make the desktop market.... of course their price, limited size, and incredible heat makes them limited in application. But hey, I didn't list price in that list before. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

                                          But SATA II offers hope that eventually 15000rpm hard-drives may make the desktop market.... of course their price, limited size, and incredible heat makes them limited in application. But hey, I didn't list price in that list before. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.
