I got a hard drive as a gift the other day, and I haven't kept up with computer hardware since I last built my pc 4 years ago.
The hard drive I got says, SATA ultra series (serial ata/150) maxtor diamond max.

I haven't opened the box because somehow I think this nice hd might not be compatible with my 4 year old dinasour system I built. I have been looking on the net to see if my this hd will fit the grey ide cables on my mb, but so far, I haven't figured out much. I guess I need to either buy a new motherboard to take advantage of the new technologies?
So if aanybody out there can give me a quick update on the hard drives out there, I would highly appreciate it. I'm looking at the hd in my current system and it sa ys WD enhanced IDE HD---are these still out there to buy? 🙂)) thanks!
 
well, i looked at the other forums and wasnt quite sure which one to post to...if you have suggestions as to which forum to post, make your suggestion and I'll be more than happy to post it there. Thanks for your help.
 
Well, this one here EXPLICITLY ISN'T the category for such a question. How about "General Hardware"?
