I'm looking to upgrade my 15gb ata100 5400 rpm drive to something
larger...

I was looking at a 80gb ata100 5400rpm drive or a 60gb ata100 7200 drive.

The system I have supports ata66 and I plan to use this system as a file
server for many large graphic and movie images.

Is a 7200rpm going to be much more useful than a 5400rpm... or no?
