About what I've got here.  I'm running a UDMA66 drive and a UDMA100 drive
on this board, and it only supports UDMA33.  In any case, I'm very pleased
with the speed of the drives at UDMA33.

I did buy my daughter a UDMA100 add-in card as she uses her computer for
'real world work', and she was very impressed with the speed increase.  For
it to work though, I had to disable in CMOS the built-in controller(s) (not
mentioned in the instructions).  :-((


     Good luck...  M.
