SATA drives are being actively developed, so improvements like the 32
MB cache are available on SATA before they appear on PATA drives. I
have one with the new large cache and it performs very well. I'm using
a SeriTek/1V4 which boots 3 SATA RAID 0 drives in my G5/Leopard. It is
well-supported,
PC3200 are also (generally) backwards-compatible with PC2100, which began to
be used on the first G4 MDD model (867MHz). The PC3200 will downclock to
PC2100 speed. However, Mac OS X tends to be quite particular about RAM
timings, so your mileage may vary.

It is when initially initializing the drive.
Simply select two partitions, and make the size of the first

Exactly.
Some things to understand, is that:
1GB = 1028MB, and not 1000 MB,
and that when a disk is formatted, you lose space

Hi
I was looking on eBay and stumbled across solid state laptop hard drives.
How much difference would they make to a laptops speed? Can they be fitted
to any laptop or are they only SATA? I couldn't find any IDE ones.

The factor is 1024, not 1028.
It's binary (base 2) math converted to decimal (base 10) for our eyes.
1 TB = 1,024 GB
1 GB = 1,024 MB
1 MB = 1,024 KB
1 KB = 1,024
