I'm doing a major upgrade (and essentially my first homebuild). I have the
following spec laid out:

- New Tsunami Sagittarius ATX window case & 350W PSU
- New K7S5A Pro mainboard
- New AMD Athlon 2600XP CPU (older 266 FSB version)
- New ThermalTake Volcano 11 Xaser Edition CPU heatsink & fan
- 2 x 256MB PC133 Kingston SD-RAM (from current system)
(I will buy 2 x 512MB DDR-RAM later)
- New ATI Radeon 9200 Pro 256MB graphics card
- Sony 1.44MB Floppy Drive (from current system)
- LG DVD-ROM GDR-8161B 16x48 (from current system)
- LG CD-RW W8520B 52x24x52 (from current system)

All I need to get me going is a hard drive, but I'm not too certain about
which IDE format to get. I've already decided that I want:

- 7200 RPM
- 120 GB
- 8MB Buffer

The question is: Which interfaces are compatible with my K7S5A Pro
motherboard? Is it compatible with Serial-ATA? Ultra ATA?

You need an ATA100 IDE HD, or sometimes called ultra-ata. Also, an
ata133 HD should also work. Serial ATA will require an add-in board.
