Aes-ni

Hi all!

I use truecrypt to encrypt my hard drive partitions.

And bottle neck for writing data is always HDD, not CPU (which loaded by 20% max).

Even in Linux with overhead caused by ntfs-3g, it's always HDD, not CPU

So, my question is: does it make sense to buy more expensive CPU like i5+ for AES-NI capability?

One possible bonus I see as longer life of notebook on battery.

P.S. Sorry for my English.
