I'm building a computer for my friend from parts bought online and had a question regarding SATA speed. The motherboard I'm looking at supports 3Gb/s SATA, but the HDD I'm looking to get is a 10,000 RPM with a 6Gb/s SATA interface.

I know they are probably compatible, but my question is am i going to get the full 10,000 RPM speed with the 3Gb/s MB, and if not would it be worth it to upgrade to a MB that supports 6Gb/s? Thanks
