I'm guessing that the 640 are made with 320 Platters. Just the the WD6400AAKS... Anyways I dont think you'll see a great difference changing drives. I'd personally would go with the 750GB version, 750GB, 32MB cache, pretty silent and fast!

The 640GB uses 320GB platters, but the 750GB uses three 333GB platters (250GB is disabled) so there isn't a drastic difference in speed. I bought the 750 a week ago and it's excellent. Very quiet, runs cool, and is FAST. I'm sure the 640 will be of the same quality, so go with whichever you prefer.
