I'd say that the IDE drives will be a bottleneck into your system for copying and searching, or anytime the explorer window gets opened.
SATA drives are cheap.
I had a huge bottleneck from my IDE HDs and DVDROM drive because at the time there was no option for SATA DVD that was inexpensive. Since I changed the part with $20, I no longer have a hang at the explorer window.
Put the 200GB HD into another machine.... is my suggestion.
