Basically, if your motherboard only supports up to ATA100, the drive
will only be able to hit that speed. This won't matter as you won't
even come close to that unless you plan on using RAID. If you have to
ask what that is, you probably shouldn't be playing with it

You realize thats like buying a car and after you paid your hard earned money
noticing it has no steering wheel.
People should be aware of what is in their system so they can buy the right
parts for it.
a 100 drive most likely would have cost you less but its actually the RPM and
drive cache thats more important for accessing the programs on the drive.Faster
acces from a 7200 drive than a 5200 drive.

Partly true, partly not. First, I have never seen a 5200 RPM drive, but
I have seen 5400 RPM, 7200 RPM, and 10000 RPM drives. It isn't like
buying a car and not having the steering wheel, it is like buying a
porshe and never going faster than 100 MPH. It sure does get the job
done, but you never actually reach its max speed.
An ATA100 drive would not necessarily have been that much less expensive
as ATA133 is now the standard and are more mass produced than the older
ATA100 drives. This helps to aleviate the price differences.
Finally, I want a 16 MB Cache 10K RPM SATA drive
LOL

So I got the speed wrong.........its been awhile since I've bought a IDE HD.
I am using a SATA drive with a IDE drive and still have room for one more of
each.
I want one of those 16MB Cache 10K SATA drives too........but I am saving my
money for another LCD monitor with a 12ms response time......
