it depends on more then rotational speed.

The Rotational speed and latency time is related as follows:

Latency time = (1/((Rotational Speed in RPM)/60)) * 0.5 * 1000 milli seconds

7200rpm will provide faster read and write speed.


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.


Is it really important to have a Hard Drive with faster rotation speed?

It depends on the make and model of the Hard Drive. Normally the spin speed does control how fast you can access a certain part of a track, but it also depends on how fast your seek time it. If you have poor seek time, your rotation speed doesnt mean anything.
