Thanks for the reply. You think I would see much difference in using the SATA 300 gig Maxtor or should I just buy the older IDE drive ? I already have the 300 gig and I am not using it is the reason I was thinking about installing it. I am using an older Asus P4PE board and will install 2 gigs of ram in it. I am planning loading XP Pro. The computer does have a floppy drive.
