7200 laptop hdd..

Right now i have a 5400RPM hdd in my laptop, and i am wondering how much of a performance gain i would get out of getting a 7200RPM hdd.. i read there would be faster boot/shutdown times, and obviously faster data access, but would it be worth it?


system specs (Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5500 2MB/1.66GHz/667MHz / 1GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm / 128MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1300 / 60GB 5400RPM SATA HDD)
