Using SATA HDD/SSD in UltraBay with the adapter is a pure waste, it defalust to UDMA2 iirc.

If you want the best mod, then do SATA mod by removing the Marvell SATA-> PATA chip, put in some ~60GB SSD for system disk and use big HDD in Ultrabay for storing data. Very cost-efficient and fast.

Pentium M 780 + 2x 1GB 533MHz RAM in dual channel mode + bridged Marvell chip + internal SSD on SATA wires + Lexar ExpressCard SSD for Windows ReadyBoost. This would be the most safety & powerful configuration for T43p. For this investment you can probably buy an equipped T61p or T400 so consider the money for this mod carefully.
Current: T420
Previous: T400, T43p Flexview, T40, R52, T43p 14"
