Stupid question - but quick answer?......

hi there just a quick question.....

i've currently got a 120gb seagate ATA hdd

im gonna be upgrading to x2 3800, etc, which means im gonna be getting an SATA hdd, correct me if im wrong but will both hdd's run together?

the board im thinking is asus a8n sli SE....... Because im sure you dont have to set jumpers or anything on SATA hdd's? so maybe this is a really silly question......but thanks in advance......

yeah its going to be a new build as below, as i've never had an SATA (my current setup is pants) i just wanted to make sure it would work

athlon 64 x2 3800 (avec freezer 64 )
2x512 corsair
asus a8n sli-SE
x1800xt/7600GT (funds permitting)
250gb WD SATA

thanks for your help (any improvements you reckon i could make on the new build ? im looking at £650 inc VAT maximum......

thanks, but i will be getting an 19" acer monitor to accompany the setup and at some point will go either xfire or sli
