I don't know of any common use of the term OMU in connection with computers (anyone ??) Google turns up such things as One Man Unix, Open Minded Unity, etc.
I've had no problem running Hynix DDR400 RAMs run at 400 speed (200MHzx2). Many motherboard BIOSes will not auto-run any RAM (not just Hynix) at DDR400 speed unless certain conditions are met (I won't go into details about that now).
Some people actually claim that the flat PATA cable is aerodynamically better than the round SATA cable. In any case, I always fold and tie all cables neatly to provide the least obstruction to airflow, so I don't see anything much to be gained from using SATA cable.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not against anyone's using SATA, but considering their higher cost and the current state of development, I don't see much sense in buying a SATA drive at present. Personally, I prefer the tried-and-true PATA drives, though things will certainly change in the future.
