I am once again abusing this board to pick the brains of the computer wizzes among you: I am planning on buying a new 40-GB HDD on one of the next days. My motherboard (a MS 5169 V.2.1 by MSI) is fairly ancient - by computer standards at least - and supports only DMA 33, so will I be able to use it with a new ATA 100/133 HDD (I will probably get a MB as well, in a year or so from now ) ?
Thank you advance for your input !

Definitely 66/33 can be connected on the same MBs, the HDD runs at the speed of the bus 9ie connect a 66HDD to a 33 Mb and it will run at the lower speed) However with 100/133 I'm not as sure. My friend who whos more about hardware than me (I'm just a software engineer
) is coming over tomorrow - I'll ask him for you.
BTW Get on MSN
