[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1409040, member: 24098"] Additionally, adding a SATA drive likely wouldn't give the machine any extra "oomph!". SATA1 has a maximum transfer rate of 150Mb/s. The later versions of PATA supported up to 133Mb/s. In reality, most hard drives will never saturate a 133Mb/s bus, let alone 150Mb/s. So, the big difference here is in the type of drive you buy being appropriate to the host machine. There are still lots of PATA hard drives on the market, so just be sure to get the right kind for your machine and abandon the thought of trying to "hack" or make it fit in some way. [/QUOTE]
