If your mobo doesn't support DMA 100, the Promise Ultra 100 and an 80 wire
cable won't help.  I'd still get the DMA 100 for when you upgrade to a
system that does support it.  The price difference is kind of insignificant,
so I'd say go ahead and get the drive you want.



I want to add a bigger hard drive to my system.  On reading my motherboard
manual I see it has an Asus P2B motherboard with Ultra DMA/33 bus master
IDE.  My hard drive is Fujitsu 6GB.  What I would like to know is can I get
any benefit from a new ultra DMA 100 7200 RPM drive and make it the master?
Do I need a Promise Ultra 100 and the 80 wire cable for this?
