is there any difference between a sata 2 and a sata 3 cable speed wise?

Asus P8P67 Deluxe : i7 2600k : Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600
Asus GTX 560 Direct Cu II OC : Corsair H100
Kingston Hyper X 3K 120 GB : WD Caviar Black 1 TB : Windows 7 Home Premium
OCZ ZT 750W PSU : CM 690 II

No, there is no difference. The cable is the same.

Performance with either cable is identical.

Only difference I've seen is that the newer cables might have a locking clip.

Don't test my skills, I was trained by myself!™ Check out my Gaming Videos!

Yes, first SATA did not have a locking clip. Sata II & Sata III cables are the same.
