I am thinking of buying a new hard drive. This is the one I am looking at.

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-148-022&catalog=14&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

However, My current drive is EIDE. Is there a big differance between ADA100 and the EIDE drives?

first of all you mean ATA100 which is fine although it is not ata133 the difference is not really noticable.....the drive will work fine with your system.

ATA100 is a parameter within the EDIE specification. So yes it will work.
