John, I agree - I know and respect OWC, my question really revolved around 
the potential speed-up, and looking for real-worl confirmation of the boot-
ability (?) of older Macs on SATA drives.

On a related, but different tack - anyone know of PCI SATA cards that older 
(PIII) PCs can boot off of? Really just curious if anyone has done something 
like that (slap a SATA boot drive in a PIII box)...
