ATA question

good morning all,

I have been reading through my motherboard manual and I am confused. In my previous post re IDE/EIDE leads people were referring to ATA-33 or -66, and using EIDE leads on the higher speed systems.

Well, my V266B motherboard manul says it offers ULTRA ATA 133.

What does this mean?

Your motherboard supports hard drives up to ATA/UDMA 133. Just use the regular 80-conductor cables... they work for ATA33/66 and higher, including ATA133.

Avoid sharpbends in 80 pin cable they break internally very easily.
I have been told the conductor is actually solid aluminum foil instead of copper wire.
I haven't had one go bad yet to cut up to verify this.
I do know the school with all of the dell clamshells have a big problem with 80 pin cables.
