I recently got in on the CompUSA deal where I got a Compaq Presario SR1010Z configured to order for $150 after rebates. I ordered it with a small 40GB drive since I have a big drive at home waiting to be used.
When the machine came, the 40GB drive is a SATA drive. My big drive I want to add is a PATA 160 GB Hitachi Deskstar.
Here is the mobo in the Compaq:

Can I still put the Deskstar drive in this machine, or are those IDE connectors mainly just for CD and DVD drives? If I read this right, I would only be able to go to 100 and not 133?
