Im gettin ready to buy parts to make a new computer. The question I have is whats the difference between an SCSI and an EIDE hard drive? Thanks for any info.
 
Ok, so from what I gather of those posts, there is basically little difference between the two.. I should just choose whichever fits my budget. How about compatibility? I plan on buying the:

Maxtor 15.3GB EIDE 7200RPM Ultra ATA/100 2 MB SDRAM Cache Buffer 7,200 RPM Spin Speed < 8.7 ms average seek time 3.5&quot; OEM Hard Drive.

Is it compatible with the:

Asus A7Pro Socket A(ATX, 200MHz FSB, Ultra DMA/66)5 PCI, 1 AMR, 3x PC133/PC100 DIMM, AGP Pro 4X,

and the

Thunderbird Socket-A 1.1Ghz (200Mhz Bus) /w Dual Fan Super Orb Heatsink/Fan?

I want to make sure everything is going to work together before I buy it.

any EIDE hard drive should be compatible with any motherboard that is UDMA100, UDMA66, UDMA33, ATA100, ATA66, ATA33 etc (UDMA and ATA are the same thing (well they are different abbreviations, but for all intensive basic purposes they are the same), and the 100,66, or 33 is the maximum megs per second that the harddrive can transfer to the motherboard and viseversa. You may want to get the Asus A7V133 motherboard as it allows for higher FSB speeds due to the KT133A than the Asus A7Pro (although this is opening a whole 'nother can of worms).
