I see now why I missed that, I have no idea what it means. Now I do!
I appreciate it!
You do realize that even a SATA hdd is the bottleneck in any system and you are further crippling your system by using something even slow? If you can budget $120 for the mb, then surely you can budget in $50-60 for a decent SATA drive, or $70 for an awesome drive like a WD Black. If not I would try holding off upgrading til you have the money to do it right, because the difference is a lot more noticeable than you may think.
