MSI K7T Pro2(non-ATA100) vs K7T Pro2A(ATA100) - how much performance difference?

[MAMAFUFU]

The price difference between this 2 model is about $20.($115 vs $95). I wonder what performance difference it will be. I'll be using IBM 75GXP series harddisk(30GB), mainly for office work and internet browsing, only occational games. Also unlikely to upgrade the harddisk in 2 or even 3 years time.

Also will the newer model more stable? (is the electrical componenets and PCB layout exactly the same?)

ATA 100 is a joke they use it as a selling point and there is not really a difference. I have the same HD as you and in Sisoft Sandra benchmarking there was no diff between ata 100 and UDMA 66

Where can you get the Pro2 for just $95?

Onvia.com had them for around that price, but it looks like the price was raised.
