If you get a 10,000rpm SATA then there is no question about the speed difference

apart from that, is my existing config fine for the time being though, cause it could be weeks... thanks mate, your a legend...Granto1000 :

LOL @ legend!! ...but thanks anyway.

Your existing setup is fine, so long as everything is working ok.

Thanks heaps for putting up with all my questions, i feel alot better, see i just build this computer two days ago, and i ran into this ide problem, so obviously i wasnt aware of the sata channels, no wounder it only has 1 ide, LOL... anyways, i was goin to get a stand alone video card aswell, cause that 128mb intel 900 media accelerator just doesnt cut it in 3d games full stop. Anyways, thanks alot for all your help.. :-D Cheers, Granto1000
