So I'm buying a new computer.
Right now I have a 250GB and a 300GB HDD. Both are PATA.

Would you reccomend:
a) Buy 2 new SATAs, and keep the PATAs
b) Just use my current PATAs
c) Just use the new SATAs

(New HDDs: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM)

The MoBo holds 4 PATA devices, and 4 SATA devices.

I'm wondering if the $150 is worth the 284 MB/s increase in speed

Thanks for your opinions.

SubQuestion B: :)P)
If I have a sound card, and I plug in headphones/etc. into the audio ports built into the computer case, will I get the sound-card quality, or the integrated audio quality. (I'm pretty sure that its the latter)
 
Re: New, Old, or both (HDDs)

both... nothing wrong with having more space heh or for backup...

or u can keep one, and turn one into an external HD
 
hm...I guess I might just buy one drive and use it for files I need to access quickly....for games and stuff..
PS: Still waiting for an answer to the other question
