You want them both.  The main thing you must "choose" is xvmc and the
xvmc-like interface the unichrome chips have.  This is outlined in
settings.pro

This is a decent number for a modern drive.  But it also indicates to
me that you will not gain a lot going from ata/133 to sata-150, though
I have not tried it out.   The limiting factor I believe is the rotational
speed of the disk and the number of heads.

But all these speeds are way more than the 2 mb/second needed for HDTV
playback.  If you started playing and recording tons of HDTV streams all
over your disk, I could see the disk bandwidth being a bottleneck.
