HDD with EIDE interface

[Luminore]

I need buy new HDD, my MB is old enough and supports two IDE ports up to 4
ATAPI devices.
Should I use only HDD that have EIDE interface? Can I use Samsung HD040GJ
internal 3.5 SATAII 7200rpm 8MB cache model?

EIDE is essentially a Parallel (PATA) interface and does not support SATA
drives. You may also be limited in the size in GB of your drive. If you
could provide more information on the make and model of your PC this would
help.
Also what is the size of your current hard drive?

Unless you buy a PCI SATA card or a new mobo [with SATA],
that is your only option.
