Yes, it's just SATAII.

No, SATA II is something else: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2450 .

buts its still quicker than regular sata150 right?

 

[t3h l337 n3wb]

...HDD's are never bottlenecked by the bus. Regular 7200RPM drives now only go up to like 50 mbps, not even coming close to SATAI. SATAII may be useful in the future, but right now, there's no point.

then where do different specs come into play when looking for a gaming hd?

They don't. Just find the best deal you can for the capacity you are looking for.
