I'd have to disagree a bit with Paq on his SATA advice. You generally do not notice the difference, unless it's a harddisk that's been *designed* for SATA like the WD Raptor, and the new Maxtor 16 MB buffer disks. Harddisk speeds also aren't *that* big a deal when working with pictures. If the price difference is small, it's worth the extra money, if it's going to cost you a lot more, don't bother.

(Oh, and I can recommend the Asus P4P800 Deluxe for features and stability. It does the same (and more) as Paq's mobo)
