I have an old computer that I loaded with linux and am using as a
network gateway and firewall. The ASUS SP97-V MB supports UDMA/33 and
the existing Caviar 31600 drive is starting to have sector errors. A
quick scan of Priceline shows that for around $40, I can get either a
5400 rpm drive or an 7200 rpm ATA/133 drive.
Since my chipset doesn't support ATA 100 or 133, does that mean that I
should stick with the 5400 rpm drive?
