Is it possible for me to add a SATA harddrive to my Dimension 2400?

If I remember correctly, I read that the 2400 has one expansion slot for a PCI card (not sure what speed). Is there a card out there that will allow me to attach a SATA harddrive? I don't care if my system won't take advantage of the SATA format because the harddrive will be used in a newer computer later.

Thanks
Matthew

yes there are pci cards who lets you add sata hardrives to your computer, and if im correct, i think it would double the speed of a regular sata drive

Nope. What do you base your guess on? Please review Rule 3.

Here's a cheap card that should work:
