thats not true,, the hard drive can not be told to run at a slower rpm,, thats like buying gas for your car that turns it from a 6 cylinder into a 4 cylinder,, its not possible,.

man what kinda people you got lurking here.

the only thing that is changed about your hard drives is if its an ultra 100 drive,, if you had an 80 pin cable,, usually the light blueish grey ide cables,, it really dont add the speed. like it would on a PC. and if you stay with the standard ide xbox cable which is an U66 cable the drive IF its an U100 drive will only run at U66 which is just fine,

dont worry use a 7200 rpm drive,, the hard drive will give the xbox the data it needs.

and i have a 5400 and a 7200 drive(s) one in each of my box's and there IS a difference in loading times. of course the 7200 ius faster.


and what do you mean by "the old way" i have no clue what your talking about,

and to be VERY honest with you bro,, go over to xbox-scene and do your xbox stuff that is T H E best place for xbox info, there is no other forum out there that can compare with the wealth of knowledge over there.
and besides most of the main programmers for stuff like unleash x slayers installer, craxion, Qwix, MXM,, and many other apps are regular people there,, so you can have the creators right there at your fingertips to ask.

anyways
