    I'm thinking about getting an xps 1530. The max hard drive dell offer is a 250gb 5400 one. I was wondering is it possible to get a 320gb or more into a 1530, maybe faster than 5400? What would you recommend? Does a faster hd really make a difference? And if I did get the hd would it be easy to install? Thanks
