While I'd never bother to game on a laptop, I'd certainly stock up on
memory and get the faster drives. I've got a 60G 7200RPM drive in my
Dell Dimension D600, and it's noticably faster than the slower one
that came out of it.
If you really need the storage, why not get a 7200RPM drive for the
system disk and a big/slow drive for your storage? Then you'll have
160G of storage and high speed where you need it. [I allocated a
separate partition for the permanent 4G swap file, which helps keep
page file fragmentation down...]
