We're talking 2 1/2 inch laptop here. Even with a PATA interface, an SSD will still provide a huge speedup. It's significantly more rare to saturate the data bus than to exceed the instantaneous I/O capacity of the drive. Do you have this laptop mounted on a bicycle? An SSD will also withstand road vibrations significantly better than a rotating disk. :) -- Gregory S. Sutter Mostly Harmless mailto:gsutter@zer0.org http://zer0.org/~gsutter/
