it was just a suggestion as my sata loads my image files about 10 seconds faster than my ATA 133 hd...then again, ymmv, i guess
it's not a big deal either way as most hd's are fast enough.
I will agree that the drivers are sometimes a pain, but mine loaded fairly easily after i found the stupid add hard drive thingie
And I'll still stick by the CRT over LCD. The ONLY LCD i've ever seen in a designer's office costed about $15K to get the resolution and color rendition that was close to what a normal CRT does anyway....plus, you don't have to worry about 'native resolutions' recycle times, etc. I mainly say LCDs are best for text or possibly gaming if they are high end enough. I just don't think it would be justified in a budget system.
