im looking into getting a new hard drive. My motherboard supports sata 1.5gbs, the only 1.5gbs one I can find is a WD raptor 74gb for $125cdn..more than I want to spend. All the other ones are 3.0gbs, so my question is can i use a 3.0 in a 1.5 board? And will it be noticeabley faster than my Ultra ata 100 ide drive?
My IDE drive is NOISY, so i wouldnt mind even if it wouldnt be much faster.
