Will Laptop HDD upgrade from 5k+ - 7k+rpm be worth it?
I have a Acer Aspire 5920G.
- Intel C2D T9300
- 4 GB DDR2
- 320GB HDD
Will it be a good idea to upgrade the HDD to a 7k+ RPM 1? I think that the HDD is the bottleneck alot of times

there's about 6 things I see on that list that could be bottlenecks for your system.
What does the hdd rate on the window experience index?
control panel -> system
Depending on the size, a 5400RPM drive can be quite a bit slower than a 7200RPM drive. The disk is almost always a bottleneck, but other parts of the system can determine how much. I guess the best place to start is as Maguscreed suggested - what is the HDD score you currently have, and perhaps running a few additional tests (like HDTach) to get more info would be useful to give you more of an accurate answer.
