If i use an USB 2 interface casing for my PATA drive and connect it through my USB port, then will i get USB 2 speed or PATA IDE speed. I am buying Intex IDE casing for 600 Rs. Is the deal good.

No Way, yr speed will be the lowest speed of the chain u r making, putting the celron processor in a brand new cabinet and sticking the pentium logo on the top wil not make it faster
