The real answer:
Makes NO difference right now. SATA is only _AS FAST_ as ATA133
In the future, SATA intends to reach 300mb/s and 600mb/s .. so it will be a performance increase _IN THE FUTURE_
The only real benefit for upgrading right away would be the improved air-flow in your case.
PS: You _CAN_ get ATA to SATA adapters which fit on your _existing_ hard-drives to make them SATA compatible.
