Who cares? We'll be happy for now. Whatever comes out later won't become popular till after a few years *ahem* DDR3 *ahem*

Well, I'm buying a new DVD burning drive... would there be a big difference between PATA and SATA? (I'd prefer SATA, but some people recommend PATA...?)

I don't have a strong preference either way, they both have pro's and cons. SATA theoretically is faster, although DVD Drives don't use that much bandwidth anyways. The only real pro is that they use smaller cables.

The cons would be that some older motherboards may have some issues with SATA drives and not being seen correctly, or at all before the OS loads.

SATA setup is much more cleaner looking, I agree. haha that's pretty much the pro's of it.

I would say SATA being it is good and fast for now... and mobos will do the speed.... and also if you get PATA depending on if your MOBO has PATA ports.

I agree SATA is much easier to work with.

1 question about sata drive, why my system think that my sata hard drive is a removeable storage like flash disk?
It show up in safe remove hardware, is there anyway to disable it?

I think there is nothing wrong with the setup, when i installed the mobo driver which is nforce, in the middle of installation there is a warning indicate that would i want to replace the storage driver with the optimized nvidia storage driver or just the windows storage driver.
In the end i choose the nvidia driver and voila, the hard drive gone as a removeable storage. There is no problem with the system so far and the hard drive cant be removed either (which is gladly since i would scared to death if the hard drive can be removed and the system would be crash).
Just a slight annoying to see the hard drive in safe remove hardware.
