Hard Drive Question

[dgridley]

I want to replace the internal hard drive on my PC with this drive:

My computer is an Everex Explora RS2800 and here are the specs:

Anyone know if the drive on eBay would be compatible with my computer? What's confusing me is the IDE vs EIDE and ATA-100 vs ATA-133?

I'm not very good with hardware!

Thanks in advance!

no problem should occur with that Drive

the Maxtor drive is compatible with allof the above standards
The following is a Rough guide

IDE-->> EIDE-->>ATA-100 -->> ATA -->> 133

Any computer interface that is ATA133 capable is back compatible with ATA-100
