Any advantage to getting a SATA hard drive if you don't shell out for a Raptor and get 10,000 rpm? Would you gize reccomend two 37's or one 76?

Can't hit a lob wedge...

There's not a whole lot of difference between SATA and traditional PATA at this point. The only sizable difference is the much smaller cables/connectors which can free up space and create better air flow inside your case.
