Hi guys,

I have a SATA drive, which I got recently to ease the burden on my original EIDE drive. What I have been wondering is this, both drives are the same speed in terms of RPM (7200), but the SATA bus is better than EIDE, so should I install windows onto the SATA? Will I notice increased performance?
