Just with the mobo. If the mobo has a ATA-66 connector, there's no need to get an ATA-100 drive, although most today are standard.

You should get a WD drive with 7200RPM, and ATA-100, ATA-133 if your mobo supports it.

I'm saving for Asus's new baby, the P4G8X (droooooooool.. . heh)

Good hard drive, I had that one.

Like I said, any ATA-100 board. I trust only Asus, but others like Abit and Tyan too.
