OT: Running an ATA 133 hard drive run with an ATA 100 motherboard

[DocA]

Hi,

I have a 40GB hard drive specified for ATA 133Mhz. But the motherboard I
want to install it on runs at 100Mhz. I have read that an ATA 133Mhz hard
drive will be comptible with an ATA 100Mhz motherboard, but I am wondering
if I the BIOS is important? Could it be that I might need to upgrade the
BIOS for the hard drive to be detected and function correctly? Hopefully,
not!

Thanks,

Adrian

it should be fine, but it'll just work at the lower speed.
