Default Hard disk upgrade

I'm looking to buy a new hard disk. I can only find ATA 100 HD's but my motherboard only supports ATA 66.

Will ATA 100 HDs work with my motherboard?

If they don't does anyone know were I can get ATA 66 HDs in britain

Thanks

If its a good drive it will not run at full speed if the motherboard cannot handle it, so that may solve the problem. However you may want to look into used drives, they are much cheaper and would be in your ATA data transefer range as well.
