How can I tell if this is the case for my board. This is
an old computer that I got off someone else. The only
information I have about it is what is provided at this
website:

Any help would be appreciated.

I plan on using a 40GB harddrive. I'm not sure if the mobo
will support 40GB though (might be the 32GB limit) - but
I'm alright with that. It's a 7200 RPM drive - hopefully
this mobo will support that.
Sorry if this is a newbie question, but PIO mode? Is that
specific to 5400RPM drives, or is that a mobo setting?
Thanks again!
