I am planning on building a new AMD 64 system in jaurary and since its gonna be a high end system I want a faster HDD to keep up with the system.

currently I have a ATA/100(133?) i dont know 40GB hdd, and a slave 160GB Ultra ATA/133 hdd.

what can I do to give me a faster hdd, for faster load times in games and finding music and all those things. I am looking at a single of these.
