ATA/100 Vs. ATA/133

Which would perform better with XP Pro:
An 80 Gigabyte Hard-drive with 8mb Cache and ATA/100 or an 80 Gigabyte Hard
drive with 2mb cache and ATA/133?

What does your motherboard use for the primary IDE ports???

Do you mean does his mother board support 100/133..?

You question don't make scene, my mother board uses IDE ports for primary
and secondary.

Forgot to mention - XP Pro with SP1 will support UDMA6

And, what are the hardware specs of those ports. Yves Leclerc's question was
entirely valid. If the ports are only ATA 100, using an ATA 133 hard drive
on them will gain you nothing! Therefore, the ATA 100 drive with 8 meg cache
will be the best!
