Segate doesnt support ATA133???

[vtec96]

ok, after posting my last question abouit which HD to get, I FINALLY decided on a Segate 60GB 7200 drive....However, now that I look at the MB im planning on getting, Abit w/ata133 support, I see that the Segate HD doest support ATA133??

Maxtor, and WD both support it but I have not found any Segate drive to support it, even from their web site!!!

My question is, if this proves to be true, how much of a performance difference wil it make from ATA100 to 133?
Im also going from a 5400rpm drive to this 7200 drive so hopefully there is a good amount of improvement there

Should I get another drive just for this support or will it not make much of a difference? Thanks,

ATA 133 makes a TINY bit of difference. www.storagereview.com lists the WD with the 8MB cache as the fastest ATA drive right now and that is ATA100.

Not much difference. Most drives would not show much diference even if you put them on an ata 66 slot.

Thanks for the reply's... Ill take a close look at the storagereview link and try to make a decision... I was pretty much "locked" on Segate ... But will decide again after reading these reviews....
