Probably true for gamers, and certainly for someone who just wants to browse
the web / do office stuff. People just shouldn't say that IDE performs as
well as SCSI without some serious clarification. It reminds me of a computer
expert friend of my dad's who told me when I was in jr. high that I didn't
really need the power of a 286. :)

well, isn't there a famous quote of Bill Gates that "no one will ever need more than
640K of RAM"?
