Im running 2-60 gig maxtor ata 100 hds, on this epox 8kha+ board and I noticed my hard drive dosent seem to be as fast as when I was running my asus-a7v133 with the on board promise ATA 100 controller...Yes everything is enabled for DMA...My question is if I buy a PCI ATA 100 card
for these drives will I get better performance????

Well if you bought something like a Highpoint HPT-372 or Promise Fasttrak-100, yes. Especially since you have two of the same drives, you can run them in a RAID-0 stripe. It would improve throughput considerably.
