Upgrading the stock IDE cable to the ATA 133 IDE Cable is the easiest
performance enhancing mod with high results without costing much. After
installation you will see an increase of up to %30 in speeds loading games from
the DVD drive as well as from the hard drive.
Below are four clips to demonstrate the differance in loading times between
the regular box and three variations of upgrades. All four clips show the time
it takes to load level one of Halo.
Clip one shows a standard unit loading the data from the DVD drive. Time
taken: 31 secs.
Clip two shows the same level being loaded with the ATA 133 Cable installed.
Time taken: 23 secs.
The third clip is the same level being loaded but this time the data is from
a backup of the title being run from the hard drive. Time taken: 17 secs.
The final clip shows the same as above but this time the data is being loaded
from the hard drive that has the ATA 133 Cable installed. Time taken: 14
secs
