Another question:
Gonna upgrade my HD, looking to spend just $100 or so.
Kind of locked on to a 120GB Seagate 8mb drive. I've always liked Seagate because of their decent speed and quiet operation.
Anyhow, newegg has both a SATA and regular IDE version for the same price. I have an Asus a7n8x-dlx rev.2 so I can use a SATA drive. I was just wondering if SATA is really faster than IDE and if i should go ahead and just get the SATA version?
I don't plan on getting any other drives anytime soon and just want something reliable and speedy and quiet.
So should I just get the SATA? what are the benefits?
