Did you see a great improvement in speed when you went from ATA33 to ATA133 with that 7200rpm 133 HD? I ask this because I have the same B&W (oc'd to 400) and run a 40 GB ATA 133 Maxtor (Quantum) Diamond Max Plus D740X-6L 7200 rpm HD on the standard ATA bus and was thinking of buying an ATA 133 card, either Acard or SIIG, or the new ATA 133 Sonnet card with two USB and two FireWire connections. But is it worth the price? FYI: I use OS X 10.1.5 and OS 9.2.2. On topic, I think the best thing we can do is wait till the 800 Mhz and even 1 Ghz CPU upgrades for our B&W are released so that the price drops for lower speed CPU upgrades.
