My point was that if you are going to spend $100 for cables, you might consider upgrading to serial ATA, which will give you even smaller, easier to work with cables than these super duper $20 each IDE cables.

The jury is still way-out on what actual performance you might get on today's computers using SATA, even with a chip integrated into a MB to get past the 133M/Bs PCI limitation there may be no performance improvement over Ultra133.

I would be more concerned about a performance HIT

Seeing that there are no Serial ATA drives available yet, and I don't plan on throwing out my 100GB WD for a few years, I wory about the the SATA to Ultra100/ATA conversion: will converting between SATA and Ultra100/ATA result in a perfomance hit? And how much will the adapters cost, per drive?


>Yes, there is that NOW thing that we have to worry about

Dongtran: I'm not a system builder and have no immediate need to uggrade so you can worry about the NOW while I'm playing games.



Plus I hate being version 1.0.0.0.0.0 of anything if it is my $$$$
