5400rpm. You can go 7200rpm but they use more power and run hotter.

I use the HDD on my ps3 for far more than game installs.... I also have friends with multiple x-box HDD's, since they are so easy to switch out.

sure, if you dont horde content, your fine. But I download a lot.^

jUST saying, you dont need a massive HDD, but modern consoles do benefit from them.

I have a 300G external and it holds a lot of porn but little else...

i watch lots of anime and oddball movies that would be insanely difficult to track down legally add that to music, backgrounds, demos and the wsbk and bsb seasons and its nice to have hot swappable spaces

Which xbox should I buy? Are there any differences?

After almost 4 years, I can tell mine isn't as good as it used to be. Freezes on me, tells me disks are unreadable..

Think I'm just going to buy another before it finally dies.

I think they are all the same aside from the elite being black with a 120gb HDD.

I recall hearing about "jasper" chipsets that reduce the RROD, and hdmi vs component on some?

I dont remember it, but unless it was fairly recently, then all the new ones on the market should have the updated parts.

Dont they all have both HDMI and Component output?

They didn't when I had one... In fact, I had to buy a special cable to hook mine up HD (component). I remember that they did come out with an HD model later...
