ATA 66
I'm looking to install a second hard drive and have an ata/66 card. What are my choices limited to in selecting a hard drive or in other words what are the consequences in selecting a hard drive of ata/100 or higher. I've heard conflicting information.
Thanks,
Steven

It will run at ATA66.... Any parallel ATA internal HD will work.

It will work but I don't know if the MB will recognize the full capacity of the HD. Make sure you buy from a store will good return policy. Other option is to go with a 30GB HD. The HD will default to ATA33. You may want to check out EBAY for a PCI controller card. The card will allow you to run at ATA100 with the 80GB HD. Expect to pay around $10 and up.
