For internal hard drives, the highest I've seen being sold were up to 15000 RPM.

Usually hard drives that come with computers pre-installed are at 7200 RPM so it's more than double that.

How does the RPM affect the speed of a hard drive?

If you've ever tried to open or save a document to/from a floppy disk, you'll know that floppy disks were slow. Imagine if that was your hard disk. Your hard disk contains your applications, user data, operating system - everything that is meant to be retained when the PC is switched off. The faster the hard disk, the faster data can be loaded and saved. Therefore, if you get a HD with a larger cache or RPM speed (10,000 over 7,200), game data will load off disk faster, applications will be able to read system data faster, and your PC will go somewhat more speedily. A faster hard disk isn't a replacement for a spacious amount of RAM, however.

What is the hard disks rpm measurement refer to and what performance metric does it have the most effect on?

it refers to how fast the actual physical disk platens are spinning inside the drive. seek time.
