If you are tunning Linux, first step is to LABEL the partitions and use those LABELs in /etc/fstab to mount the partition, otherwise /dev/sda1 could change <mutter mutter> man mkswap (mkswap -L LABEL /dev/sdNn) man tune2fs (tune2fs -L LABEL /dev/sdNn) In /etc/fstab #/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 LABEL=/root / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 #/dev/hdb2 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 0 2 Also grub /boot/grub/menu.lst #kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hda2 ro kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=LABEL=/root ro idebus=66 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 > I've read that these new-ones are better& cheaper. I don't know about better.

Yes, if you can find a plug in card that supports the new big plug in disk and works in your 2005 age hardware. Umm, I hope that isn't too problematic as some of mine is that age and close to it. However, any benefit will be limited by the maximum bus speed of your 2005 era mobtherboard.
