I've done exactly the same thing on a couple of old PII-400 systems that I have
(just going up to ata66, disk-limited) and it made a significant difference.
For example, the loader's "spinner" is now a blur. Not very scientific, but it
feels a lot faster.
I think that the difference between ata33 and ata66 or 100 will be very
noticable. Obviously, moving up from ata66 or ata100 will be much less dramatic
- you've already used up the factor of 2- or 3-X once you get away from ata33.
