In my experience, any loss of speed is unnoticeable going to NTFS from FAT32, and the only way I knew that was running benchmarks and guesstimating.
it also depends if ur dual booting with other operating systems. say if ur dual booting with win98 or winme then u need to run FAT32 inorder for the other OSes to see ur files.
