S-ATA150 and S-ATA300, is there any difference in speed?

Here in Sweden the Samsung P120 S-ATA300 is cheaper than other S-ATA150 drives, and I'm thinking about taking that together with a regular nForce4 mobo (the mobo doesn't have to be S-ATA300 to use a S-ATA300 HDD, the S-ATA300 drive works fine in the S-ATA150 interface, right?

Would a nForce4 Ultra with the S-ATA300 interface give me any speed improvements?

Depends on what you are doing. In games, not really, but if you do something that requires heavy data transfers and such, then it will.

you really would not notice any difference unless transfering huge files but stick to S-ATA300 cause it just would be better when paired up with an nforce4 board.
