Right now I have a Western Digital 160 GB Ultra IDE 7200RPM.

I know SATA drives allow for a MUCH larger transfer of files, so in theory, transporting more files faster would mean better frames per second in gaming, right?

yes it makes for faster gaming. NCQ is also great for that extra speed boost. If you are buying a new drive get the new samsung spinpoint its faster than a raptor at loading far cry by a full 10 seconds.

10 seconds? Wow.

I'll look into it. Man, it's going to be a pain to reinstall/patch everything again...

You can keep the old drive. Just transfer across.

Where did you READ that?

The new custom pc lab test, the new samsung spinpoint p120.

So, how would I go about transfering the data across?

I can connect a SATA and IDE together...?
