Re: Hows this system look?

Get this hard drive instead. Its SATA instead of ultra ATA.

Re: Hows this system look?

It will improve performance as the RAM is DDR2 and will run cooler (i think) and will help wth upgrading in the future - you wont have to buy a whole new rig.

Whats the difference? (I never understood SATA ATA IDE )

SATA can support up to 3 gb/s and uses a much thinner ower profile cable that results in better case airflow, at least more that IDE ribbons, which are slower and block lots of air.
