I am shopping for my first hard drive and am confused. The manual says my board "supports UDMA 33/66 IDE". I am having trouble finding a 66 drive and someday hopefully I can buy a better board, so I would like to get a 100 drive now and not have to get a new one down the road. Will an ATA 100 work? I think I understand that the drive will only be as fast as the interface so a 100 wouldn't live up to it's potential with this board (which doesn't worry me right now) but I don't want to see flames and smoke pouring from my computer because I picked the wrong drive! Please someone answer this very dumb question for me. Thanks!!!
