Here is a simple chart to show you the speed difference in going with the different types of drives:

I would probably go with SATA for now, though the actual throughput is not significantly faster then the fastest IDE (despite the maximum possible throughput as the chart shows). I do like the smaller connectors though. I think that it generally goes undisputed that the best SATA hard drive out right now is the WD Rapter 74GB. I can't wait until SATA reaches 500mb/s.....

I agree there Generix. SATA is the way to go righ tnow.. merely because once it becomes more widely used.. all of those who already have it hooked up on their computers as such wont hav ea problem dropping another drive in there quickly to taste the speeds possible of being hit in the future.
Good stuff

Shouldn't have a problem. I had both hooked up for awhile. Just to transfer files, but I didn't have a problem. I had an Asus mobo also.
