Yes. However, if in a laptop, you will have to make sure that the drive does not output too much heat. This could cause the computer to overheat and the drive to malfunction if the cooling system is not adequate.

What is the best hard disc for an IBM ThinkPad laptop?

Any name brand hard drive is good. The fastest preforming notebok harddrives are the 7200rpm with 8mb cache. The highest capacity harddrives would be 5400rpm which limit at 320 gigabytes most all newer 5400rpm drives have 8mb as well. For performance you want to look for the lowest seek, time as well as a large cache, and the fastest supported interface by your Thinkpad.

Why Intel Pentium 3 doesnt support 80gb hard disk?

Depending on your computer's BIOS, it might support or not a 7200RPM hard disk drive. Usually a Pentium 3 should support 7200RPM hard disks. I personally own a 800MHz Pentium 3 with a 160GB ATA hard drive and it worked without updating the BIOS(last updated in February 2000). So, a Pentium 3 should support newer hard drives but make sure your BIOS is at least from 1999 or 2000 since I don't think a 1995 or 1996 BIOS can handle a 7200RPM hard drive.

Do faster rpm hard drives make programs start up faster?

Hard drive speeds of 7200rpm allow for it to read/write/copy data faster, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will open programs faster. If you want to run programs faster, upgrade your computer's RAM (random access memory or usually just called memory).
