Is it just newer technology? I thought there were pros and cons for both:

All I wanted was a new Graphics card but it's turned into this huge money swallowing project. To get a new graphics card, I need a new motherboard with PCI-E, then I need a new CPU, and to run it all I need a bigger power supply... Next problem: The motherboard I've been looking at has 1 IDE connector and about 5 SATA's. My current setup has 2 IDE's which I use to connect my DVD, CDRW, and Hard drive to. MY questionairo is what is the difference between IDE and SATA and does it matter which peripheral I connect to the IDE/SATA (like CD&DVD--->IDE and Harddrive--->SATA or viceversa). |

just buy a new computer.........lol IDE hold more information and SATA drive will hold less and go faster so it is just up to you what you want to use. |

...what? IDE is the old interface. SATA has more bandwidth for faster transfers. I haven't heard of a new IDE drive for a while, but I've seen 2TB SATA drives. |

The thing is new technology is faster than the older, the new mainboards had reduced the number of PCI and IDE ports, so if U have more than 2 IDE items, it will not be easy to connect all, U may need an additional IDE ports card. SATA runs faster than the IDE, so if U have the chance to get SATA, GET IT!. |
