Canada... eh
I'm soon going to buy a laptop, i want storage plus good preformance (cost is very puny amount), i'm stuck between two configurations,

1- total storage is 200 Gigabytes (2x100Gb) at 7200 rpm or 2- total storage 240 Gigabytes (2x120) at 5400 rpm! My laptop will have a 2 Gb of ram!! and both sets are in Raid 0!!

I want the 240 gig one but i don't know if its gonna really slow down game loading speeds or not?

personally, i'd go for the 7200 rpm. you're losing 40gb, well, more like 35gb if you take file system overheads into account. and the extra speed does make a big difference, not just in load times, but also in virtual memory usage etc
