What is the difference between an Ultra DMA 100 and 133 hard drive? Speed? If so, how much?
Can I replace a DMA 100 hard drive with a DMA 133 or do I have to replace the IDE controller card too? If so, how cost effective is the change? (I am working with large video files where "rendering" and especially "authoring" times are murder.)
Pentium 4, 1.7 Ghz 256 MB mem, 80 GB and 30 GB drives (wish to replace the 30 GB with a 150 or more GB but preferably faster drive),, Windows XP Home.
Any other idea how to speed up the video editing and burning? As I understand, replacing the processor with a faster one gives only minimal improvement, the bottleneck is in the hard drive.
Thank you for your input.
