That means serial would have to be clocked 8 times faster at least to
match paraiiel.
Thanks.

I think cost is the big factor for serial. Serial would have to clock 8
times faster to match IDE.
A 250 gig CF chip costs $1500 while an SD chip is much much cheaper.

Cost is the big factor, period. PCs are commodities, with commodity
pricing. Given the same specs, it largely doesn't

Crosstalk and impedance, but there are other reasons why SATA is better too.
For a
better answer you could have looked it up instead of asking here. e.g.
Very true. It doesn't mean that a new computer is better than the old one
being recycled.
A new twist I heard that Micro Soft is requiring computer vendors to
write their bios so that
only win 8 will boot on them. They want to get rid of Linux.Once a win 8
machine forever a
win 8 machine.

Depends on what you consider better. Most folks think faster, more
powerful, and cheaper is better.

The S stands for serial or one bit at a time. A SATA drive interface has
only 4 lines going
into it vs IDE which has 44 lines. On SATA 2 lines are for power, the
other 2 lines are for data.
Using the same
Synchronizing the sending of bits over parallel interfaces is much more
difficult than it is to send a single serial bit stream. As a result,
you can send that single serial stream of bits faster than you can do it
in parallel across multiple wires.
SCSI went through this transition when

SD is alot cheaper to make than CF. SD is one bit at a time while CF is 8
bits at a time.
If they both use the same clock which do you think is faster.

the example given for its use is VGA. When you put it in verbatium, it

Strange to give a help example that doesn't work.
