I'm not even sure anyone makes new ones anymore. You'll most likely find that new drives are all in the 80-120GB range and all 5400 RPM. If you hunt around on Compuvest, Ebay, and similar venues for liquidations you might find a 7200 RPM 60 or 100, but these were unusual even when they were current technology. Your best bet is to install a 64GB solid state drive. The PATA ones are a little expensive, but you should be able to find one for around $100. It won't be much if any more than a new mechanical drive, and the subjective improvement in system performance (not much of a real boost, but it'll seem much faster because you won't be waiting on writes and reads) is well worth it.
