Follow up Q to responses about FAT32 vs NTFS

I was directed to a website compairing the differences
between the two (Win XP gives choice), it says NTFS is
fast on large volumes, slow on small, and the reverse for
FAT32. The hard drive i am going with, while the latest
greatest (for today), is only 36gb (but 10k rpm, serial
ata, and 8mb cache).
Would this drive be best with ?????

There are other considerations besides speed. And for some users (I'm not
saying this about you, obviously) who read too many magazines, the
appreciation of speed exists largely in their heads. You want NTFS.
