Laptop HDD question

[noobtech]

My wife's laptop has a 4200RPM 80GB HDD... would it support higher speeds like 5400 or 7200 enhanced ide (AT-6)? It's a Toshiba A75-S211... thankfully it's not one of those defective ones... it's been running like a champ with no issues for over a year now.

It currently had 512 ddr333 and shared with an IGP radeon 9000... I want to put in more memory and upgrade the HDD so I can play Guild Wars on it.

It'll support a higher-RPM drive, but it'll draw more battery. More memory is probably more important.

Yay for GW
