Could be lies, could be true. Doing the wrong thing could shorten the life of the drive and maybe even the computer. The reason laptops use slower/smaller drives is power usage and heat buildup. However it is likely that a newer drive would be more efficient and thus use less power and create less heat. Only way to know is to compare the specs on the two drives. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
