Hi All

well i got a Athlon Xp+ 2400,512 mb ram ddr266,and a Asus A7n8x-x mobo,80gb PATA drive.
well am looking do any one of the upgrade,please do suggest the best option :

1:120 or 80 gb SATA drive.
but i do not have a controller,so i assume that i will be putting a pci based SATA controller,cause i dont think my mobo has a onboard controller.if i do this will install my os on the SATA and my program dumps on PATA.please suggest.as i do SETI@Home i do not want any kind of bottleneck on my system.

well this looks the most appealing but i am still unsure about the incompatibility issues. will i be able to write video files and still be able to view them on my sony dvd player.also with other formats like hd-dvd and blu-ray,should i buy it?

3:120gb pata drive and a dvdrom/cdrw drive
well this is just to get a bit more real estate!!!

4:suggest me any other change but that will be around the same money as i can get in any of the above options.

i got time till december,but starting to research early

thanks
