you should not be confused with Sata?
because:
P-ata = Parallel ATA (IDE =!)
S = Serial ATA-ata
"ata" simply means a DD IDE
IDE uses the big 40/80 pin ribbons. SATA uses much smaller ones.
Higher RPM usually means faster access times, but perhaps not in all cases.
8 Meg cache is about all you'll ever need for today's stuff, 16 is more of a marketing thing for people that think they need 16 to look cool. The difference in your everyday useage will not be noticable.
SATA drives are designed to reduce the bottleneck between the CPU, PCI and other components which trade data much faster.Present ATA rating is 150 where as ATA 133 is the fastest of the IDE drives.
