oh yeah that is definitley a good deal the only thing is it is ATA-100, but for that price its worth it, and your mobo may only support ATA-100 anyway

Whether it's ATA/100 or ATA/133 is irrelevant, as no drive challenges either interface.
The 7200.7 isn't a particuarly high-performing drive, but it is very quiet. The price, after rebate is pretty good for the size.

FYI: your board supports ATA133 RAID functionality too, if you ever decide to use it.. which could boost performance (RAID0)
