How much of a preformance increase?
Does it suck alot more power/make the book more noisy/hot?
Thanks for any info.

I'll let you know. I did the upgrade last night. Xbench is actually reporting lower disk scores!  I went from the stock 80 gig 5400 RPM Hitachi to a 7200 60 gig Hitachi. I'm working on it now to see if I see any performance gains in my apps.

Ouch BkueKanoodle - is this the case with other people as well?
I guess I'm most interested in the effect it has on battery life - does it take a signifigant hit/gain or is it about the same?
