IBM Deskstar and UltraDMA/33: Possible?

[SuRGV]

I'm planning to get an IBM Deskstar HD after hearing much of its reputation. Do you think it can work on my ASUS P3B-F motherboard which supports only UltraDMA/33 ?
If yes, would its performance be greatly degraded?
Thanks for all advices.

I know it will work. I have mine running at UDMA/66 in windows, and /33 in Linux. Besides, there is a program you can download from IBM that will set the speed of the drive, with no data loss.

The performance will not be degraded very much, just the initial burst. My drive (45GB 75gxp) benches at 21MB/s.

like Wombat says, the drive will work as it's backward compatible!
mind you,I use it on a promise ata100 controller card to extract its max potential.

Thanks guys. I got the information you guys talking about on IBM's website. I should have visited it before bothering my everybody here.
Thanks again.
