    I hadn't been able to play the Sims 2, and I figured out it was because my video card wasn't
    supported. So I went out and picked up a cheap GeForce FX 5200 ($50) and installed it in my
    computer. Well as soon as I turned my computer on, everything was normal. But I noticed the

12. Sata And Ide

    (4)

    Hi guys, I have a IDE Hard drive i think. It says ATA/100 or something like that. I want to add
    another hard drive to my computer so i have two. I have a one of those flat cables that connects
    the hard drive to the Motherboard and it has one more port coming off to plug in one more hard drive
    to that cable. What is the difference between SATA and IDE and is IDE the same as ATA/100? Can i
    get an SATA cable and plug it into my ATA/100 or should i just get another ATA/100 hard drive?
