HardDrives

I'm looking for a new hard drive for my computer. Right now I only have a 40gb(I know, pitiful). I'm so confused by this IDE, SATA and other shit. Can someone explain which one is better. I have a ASUS A8V-Deluxe motherboard. My current hard drive is IDE. And don't ask me to get a 10k rpm hard drive, out of my budget. I use my computer mostly for gaming and downloading movies.

I'm planning to buy from www.atoponline.com for my hard drive because they are local and have one near me.

 

Go with SATA,
Here's an excellant deal on an 80gb SATA:

Your on a tight Budget? the link you posted isnt providing the best price!
Being Local/ Buying Local has it's advantages

If I had to buy at your link, I'd think hard about this one or any SATA that had a 16MB buffer:
