Hi.
Well currently I have 1x 250GB WDC (IDE) and 1x Samsung SP 160GB (IDE)
I am currently thinking of this:

Now this HDD will be partitioned for one been my games and the other been the OS, now will having IDE HDD's in my PC still slow the operation of Windows and games due to there been IDE hdd's?
Also, will a SATA HDD actually speed up my loading times compared to IDE HDD's? right now it takes me around 4.5 bars to load into Vista and 6 for XP, not much difference from my old 3700+ AMD single core system with 1GB ram so my only thought could be that its the HDD's causing the slow loading times because there IDE.
Thanks
Will.
