SCSI or ATA-133?

Should I stay with my maxtor 80gig 7200 ATA133 hdd or go with a 2X 9gig Seagate Barracuda ST39175LW 7200 SCSI2 setup? Which would be faster? Thanks
 
To add a little more info for what i use my computer for:
Web Designing, Multimedia (TV (usually multitask with TV in the corner), DVD(usually multitask with DVD in the corner), Games(UT 2003, MOH, CS)
 
Well, if you go scsi at least get a 10k rpm drive. The modern day 7200 rpm IDE drive is faster that the old 7200 rpm scsi drives and save you some money too.
 
For what you are doing, I would stay with IDE. The price/performance ratio does not justify the additional expense IMHO. If you were running a database or web server, then I'd go with SCSI.
 
Well I have the two scsi hdd's from a server pull (the office upgraded to a newer server). But It looks like i sohuld just keep my maxtor hdd.
 
SCSI is way more reliable then IDE. IDE is way cheaper then SCSI. Top of the line SCSI blows away IDE. Most people are better off with IDE.

<--- Loves SCSI, hates price.
