Sorry if this is a repost, but here goes:
My parents have a Dell Dimension 4600 that is currently using a 37GB IDE hard drive.
I'd like to help them upgrade it, so I took a look at Dell's online documentation, and it says the computer supports SATA.
If I just open the case for a quick peek, what do I look for to see if it actually supports SATA?
Is there some telltale wire that I need to look for?
I know what the IDE strips look like, they're the flat ones with like 40 lines.
Thanks
