I currently have a [30 GB Ultra-ATA/66] and I was wondering if I'll have any problems upgrading to a [250 GB Ultra-ATA/100].
I'm not familiar with hard drives, but as far as memory goes, I understand that type of memory is dependant on the memory speed (e.g. PC133). I was wondering if hard drives followed the same principal.
Computer:
System Confirugation Dell 4100 (year 2000)
Thanks for your help,

I believe that you have a Dell Dimension 4100 which has an Intel 815E chipset. If this is the case for your system, it can support ATA/100 drives.
For more information about ATA compatibilities, see Seagate's FAQ on the topic.
chrisbliss18,
Yeah, I realized my link error after the fact.
I just went to the Intel site and found my motherboard's specs. I didn't know enough to realize ATA/100 compatibility would be listed. Thanks for the link though.
