Is it worth upgrading from IDE to SATA???

[plummy]

Ive currently got 2 IDE disks (7200)

one has OS and prog files on and the other is Pagefile and data

Will I notice much difference upgrading to SATA?

Not unless you upgrade to a Raptor (because it is 10000 rpm) and even then the price you pay doesn't necessarily equate to massively improved performance over your existing drives. If you need more space and have SATA ports then yes it makes sense to get SATA with the benefits it entails but I wouldn't change the drives just for the sake of it

IMO Yes, I left EIDE behind in mid/late 2003 and I feel system overall faster even when it was 8MB cache drives but more so on 16MB cache drives.
