Help please......

I have an old dell dimension 2400. I just bought a hard drive today. It's a Western 2500ks SATA. I did not know that my motherboard does not have SATA or whatever. Does anyone have a solution to this ? Since I cant return the hard drive back to newegg.

Please someone help ?

    You'll need to buy a PCI SATA controller card.

    thank you but I have another question

    I did some search and found that there are SATA controller (1.5/sec) and SATA II controller (3/sec). It's only a few dollars different but the transfer speed double. So is that mean SATA II is way better ? Can I use this card with my western 250 gig HD ?

    You will need to check the hard drive specs to see if it is SATAII compatible.
