Hello once again. I have vista coming in a few days and wondered if I should install it to my EIDE HD or my SATA II drive. Which would give the better performance and in what areas? Thanx once again.

it really doesn't matter

sata doesn't really give any real world performance gains

install it on whichever drive is larger, as larger drives tend to perform better than smaller ones
