ASUS P2B HD Upgrade

[JaguarJoe]

I have an Asus P2B motherboard with a P3 500 and want to add another hard drive. I would like to get one that is ATA/100 (IBM 75GXP DTLA 307045)so I can use it in a new system that I want to build at a later date. Money for new componets is almost as rare as chicken lips, so I have to get componets when I can. Seeing that my P2B only supports ATA/33, is there anything I can do to install this type of hard drive with my current MB?

Newer (ATA66/ATA100) drives are backward compatible with ATA33. They will work fine with your mobo, but run at ATA33.
