If you are in a corporate environment and have a production 
server running you can afford to double the cost for that 
not-even-close-to-doubled increase in performance (and 
probably should if the server will be heavily utilised, we 
do), the person posing the question is talking about a home 
system however from memory. Unless shitloads of people are 
going to be connecting to his system as a file server or for 
other hard drive intensive reasons he really wont get a cost 
effective benefit, especially with SATA.
