Hi guys.
Small question. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 laptop. Ive upgraded the memory to 512mb, and its packing a 2.5ghz CPU.
The only thing i think that is slowing the machine down is the HDD. Does anyone agree with me that "upgrading" the 4200rpm disc ive currently got to a 5400rpm 8mb cache disc will improve performance on this machine?
Many thanks!!

yes...it will boot the speed up to 130%...i reckon...
thts what the speed difference on a new powerbook with 4200rpm n 5400 rpm HDD
It'll probably reduce the battery uptime a bit though...
Still, sounds like a fair tradeoff.
Also, a fresh windows install might help.
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
The faster RPM HDDs claim NOT to impact battery life, but of course YMMV.
I'm gonna get one of the 7200 RPM ones as soon as I can afford...should make the whole machine a load snappier.
Well Hello!
cheers guys,
i got it and now its amazingly fasthehe
yeah shaved about 30mins of the battery but i tihnk its still coolio
