ATA 66/100/133 are all the same 80 pin cables, there is no specific ATA133 cable...

You would need a 133 ATA hard drive to get the extra benifits from the 133 cables. But you would get improvement going from 100 to 133 if the hard drive supports 133. I do not know how much more improvement though. Probably can find some comparisons online.

Might as well jump in and say it too 
ATA66, 100 and 133 cables are all and the same. If you see someone advertising ATA133 cables it is simply a marketing ploy...nothing more. You can get higher quality cables but this still does not make them specifically ATA133 cables. 80-wire is 80-wire no matter how you look at it.

while its true that u can have an 80 strand ata66 cable they usually come in a forty strand cable while ata100 and 133 both require a 80 strand cable to even function. if you try to run them with a 40 strand cable they revert back to ata66.

There is no difference from replacing the cables. There is a negligable difference when replacing ata100 drives with ata133 drives. In fact, the difference between ata66 and ata100 is small.

Cables are not the issue but no they dont use the same cables
He could have the old large AWG EIDE cable's in his box
hey if you do not have the realy realy skinny wire cables then get them & install them
the cables are marked with the wire gauge it should be marked
30AWG on the cable
Regaurdless of whatever your components are Id recomend using the 30 awg cables there not that expensive
the round ones are rather expensive, why I dont know its the same amount of wire nothing realy much harder in making them
I just think the industry is ripping us off
Lower the prices on round cables ya bastads
