Charles makes a good point. You will be able to use your old SATA drives, but you will have to back them up first, repartition them, and reinstall Leopard. Then you will be able to use Migration Assistant and get your stuff the way you like it. Right now I'm not sure if you can use a cloning utility like CCC or SuperDuper from one kind of partitioning to the other, but that might be another possibility.
