Hi!
I Bought New Hard Drive
Western Digital 1Tb WD10EARS Green Caviar
MY Old Hard Disk is 160GB WD1600AABS Caviar
My New Hard Disk 1TB IS Cool Bcoz Its Begger But MY Old Hard Is 7200RPM and My New Hard 5400RPM
Whats Is The Diffrence Between The 2 RPMs
In Video Games Speed????

Basically, your new hard drive is slower than your old one.

It probably won't make much of a difference for playing video games.
The more RAM you have, the less of a difference it will make.
 
Faster spindle speed means faster seek times and possibly faster sustained reads and writes. This won't have much effect on gaming especially when compared to GPU speed. It might make load time faster.
