hey, im about to order parts for a new comp; here are the core specs im lookin at:
-gigabyte ga-k8n
-athlon64 3200
-512 mb pny
-msi geforce 6600 256 mb
in other words, a cheap, low end, comp to play older and some new games decently.
but anyway, i was just wondering, in general, what would be the better choice for a hard drive, assuming they were from the same company: a 10000rpm ATA-133, or a 7200 rpm sata 3 gb/s ? would the extra rpm override any gain from the alternative faster transfer speed, or would the slower ata-133 connection be a larger resistance than the slower rpm? or, for that matter, at this point in time, would there be any significant change from a sata 3 gb/s to a ata-133 if they were both 7200 rpm?
thanks,
jut
