[auszombie]

Hi
i just want to know if a ATA100 mainboard will work with ATA133 hdd. I dont care whether the speed will be abit slower or not though

Appreciate any help :)

I have a feeling they will, not sure though.

Yes it will, obviously not at ATA133 though.
All ATA interfaces are backward/forward compatible, so even ATA 66 and 33 will work on an ATA100.
