I think the 233MHz CPU in the L100 may actually be the main limiting factor. Would the SATA card have a controller chip that would push data through faster than the one in the USB2 card while taking the slow 233MHz CPU into consiferation?
Nah, get a cardbus SATA card. It would probably be faster than USB2.
