I second the motion VERY strongly. Also,
make that Serial ATA. Minimum extra cost. Maximum speed.

Trading Laptop Recommendation ? TJ and board
Jim,
This may be tight in that price range, but if at
all possible, get
yourself a 7200 RPM drive -- they are very
available at this point
in laptops -- and reading stock data is very disk
bound -- you will
not be happy with a 5400 RPM drive. Also, get a
good defrag utility -
- perfectdisk, diskeeper or the winternals product
-- for the same
reason. Constant downloading of data fragments the
drive.
