Technically I believe that the increase in speed is neglible. I like SATA simply because having that tiny 7wire cable is way better than having a huge, stubborn 80wire IDE cable.

While on this subject, are all SATA drives compatable with SATA Gen2 mobos? What I mean is, if I were to plug in the SATA hdd I have right now on my Abit NF7-S2 into my DFI LANParty NF4 Ultra-D mobo (with nForce 4, that supports SATA 300mb), would this hdd be running at the 300 or just the 150?
