Go with a 7200 RPM if you need anything requiring speed, like audio or video. I just put an Adaptec Firewire card in my 7500 and added an 80 gig 5400 RPM drive for backup. For that purpose, it was fine. But noticeably slow. -- John England -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
