Some quick research on your mobo shows you should be able to use any kind of SATA cable. If you look at your motherboard you can actually see the type it takes.

Not entirely sure. I just think the newer one is faster.

There is no difference at all between SATA 1 and SATA 2 cables, other than they might have a clip on them. Connection-wise and electrical-wise, they're both the same.

SATA II is faster, and is backwards compatible.

The interface that is, don't know about the cable.
