Your welcome, mate.
Iv'e just read something on the following link, regarding the actual difference in everyday operational terms, between ATA-66 and ATA-100 drives. Apparantly due to the current phisical limitations of even the best ATA-100 drives, there's little difference between the two interface standards.
Thus if this info is anything to go by, sticking ATA-100 and ATA-66 drives together is perfectly feasible: the average read sped in both ATA-66 and ATA-100 interfaces is 32MB/sec on a PIII 700MHz (only the "burst" speed is increased with ATA-100, particualar to only a small area of your computing needs).
This situation isn't likely to change within the next couple of years.
