My dual XP 1600 system is just acting way too flakey these days, so I decided to replace the motherboard. The motherboard in question has serial ATA. On a whim I researched a little bit and found the drives to be reasonably priced.

You have 7200 RPM and 10000 RPM, 7200 RPM serial ATA drives fall within my price range 10000's don't. The question is, will a serial ATA 7200 RPM drive out perform a regular IDE 133 7200 RPM drive? If so, how exactly?
