    2 questions for anyone who has experience fitting a SATA drive to an older, IDE-only motherboard - 1. Will I gain any of the SATA drive's performance/data transfer speed by swapping a 250GB IDE drive for a 250GB SATA drive on an IDE-only motherboard? That is, if I connect a SATA drive via a SATA PCI card or IDE-to-SATA adapter, will I gain any of the SATA's speed benefits, or will the IDE and PCI channels the SATA's connected to bottleneck any gains, thus crippling the SATA to no more than IDE performance? If the answer above is yes (ie, the SATA drive will still produce slightly better performance than the IDE drive) - 2. What is the best way, performance wise, to connect the SATA to the motherboard--SATA card in PCI (not PCI-e!) slot or IDE-to-SATA adapter (attached to IDE jack on motherboard & SATA drive attached to adapter)? I am aware that upgrading the motherboard would be more cost-effective, but, for a variety of reasons, that is not an option here.
