I plan to overclock my Pentium mobile 750 ... and I've heard that only ATA (no SATA) drives can handle high PCI (no PCI lock :( )
Please help me which one to buy (seagate 7200.9 160GB will be OK ?? ) ??
I need to work with PCI at about 42-45MHz or more ...

I suggest the cheaper one cause You have to replace it a lot :)

The only ones I've heard of that could consistently take a high PCI clock without corrupting were old IBM HD's, although I've also heard that reducing them to ATA66 speeds helps alot stability wise too I have no idea if this is true or not. Haven't had to mess with PCI dividers and such in a long time being on AMD and all....
