[G4] How to use a Seagate SATA drive on a G4 AGP

[B G]

You are correct, in order to use the SATA drive to full advantage you  
need a SATA PCI adapter card.

I say full advantage because they sell a plug in adapter to use SATA  
on your ATA bus, but that would be silly, it would slow down the  
performance.

The PCI/SATA adapter cards are easily obtained and are priced from  
$25 up depending on brand and where you purchase.
