[G4] swapping boot drive to PCI ATA controller card

[B G]

I am sure it would boot okay as I am booting my G4 using a drive on  
the Ultra DMA PCI card. However unless you have upgraded your drive  
or drives, I do not think there would be much of a difference in  
performance. The new drives have faster seek and access time and  
larger buffers.

I would but a new Ultra DMA drive and either copy your current boot  
drive or do a fresh install.
