You need a VIA 8233A south bridge for that (not yet available), or an ALi 1535D+. The latter has been available for a while, and seems to need no more than a BIOS update to do UDMA133.

Peter is correct, but there are a few boards that while don't feature ATA/133 on them, do have ATA/133 RAID on them. Abit KR7A-RAID is one, if u look around you prolly will find more. Shuttle is coming out eventually also with AK35 GTR which has ATA/133 RAID also

My abit KR7A Raid board supports ata 133 with the Hotpoint Raid 372 chip.
You don't have to use raid to use the IDE 133 drives.

My maxtor 160 GB drive came with a ata133 pci card (which will support up to 4 drives). Therefore, I assume the card is available by itself. Asside...not sure what I will do with all the space....blows me away that I have more computing power on my desktop than NASA had when they sent man to the moon!
