The Dimension 8400 was one of the first computers with DDR2 and PCI-Express. Quite decent.

...and SATA! For ten yrs old...it is an amazing thing! And mine was free...gotta love that!

But SATA came to Dell before the 8400. The Dimension 4600 and Dimension 8300 have SATA with AGP and DDR memory.

SATA became commonplace over the years, so I rarely give it a thought. Can anybody use about 100 lbs of IDE drives piled up here? Capacities up to 500GB, though mostly 40 and 80GB.
I replaced the CD-RW in my wife's GX270 (w/800FSB) with a SATA DVD-RW and
later, a new SATA HD.

Old and Slow, but still SATA

and definitely DDR
