Is this hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144701
compatible with this mobo? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136007

I'm confused about what sata 2 is and if its required for this hard drive

Yes, SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I, but the only thing that your mobo will utilize is probably that 16 MB buffer, but its not a noticeable difference.
