Is Sata 3 worth it over Sata 2? I know the only Sata 3 drive is the crucial, I got a $200 gift card to Frys and was thinking about picking up a sata 3 motherboard. I already have a C300 64GB...but is it worth it over sata 2? I have an intel G2 80GB now..

Nop. Actually the C300 is faster on SATA II in the 4K performance which are alot more important then the sequential which is where you got the only boost from SATA III

Not right now because there are no decent cheap controllers.
The Gigabyte MBs that include a SATA6 chipset are about the best I've seen for now.
These Crucial drives will scream with the upcoming Intel SATA6 chipset.
