Just wondering if it is worth upgrading my 4200rpm 40 gig hd to a 60-80 gig 7200rpm drive..will i notice a big dif? Prob I am seeing / having is my hd keeps clickling every once in awile when I am loading things..after it clicks the computer does what I asked it too. Does not happen ALL the time but happens more times than I think it should. Any ideas or experience? Thanks!

It would definitely be a speed boost. I might even go with a higher capacity drive while you're swapping it anyway.

yeah..I would think so..yeah from what I have read the mini i have (1.25 g4) comes with 40gig 4200 default. I think 60-80 will be plenty for what I need it for..I am using 40 now and I still have about 16gig free. :)
