Adding SATA card to UDMA/133 motherboard worth it? by [email protected]
I need a new hard drive and would like to know if I get a SATA card and a SATA II hard drive if it will be a noticeable gain over my current UDMA 133 drives? Does having the SATA port on the motherboard as opposed to a card make a difference? Thanks.
