Please Help!
I am ready to buy a 17" Macbook Pro but am having difficulty deciding on a hard drive. I already know the following:
I am getting the 17" MBP 2.33 GHZ Core 2
I am upgrading to 3 GB's of RAM
However, I cannot decide on the 160 GB 5400 rpm drive vs the 100 GB 7200 rpm drive.
I am an educator, but I plan on branching out into web development and video editing, so I am concerned that I may need the speed associated with a faster rpm drive (especially in editing.)
Here are my questions...
1. Is the speed difference noticable?
2. Is it worth losing the 60 GB's of space?
(I already have a 160 GB external hd, so losing the space might not be an issue.)
Any thoughts or ideas you can give would be greatly appreciated!
