Hey guys what's up, just signed up here and it looks great.

I need help not really with putting together a system, but more about the motherboard and hard drive.

I want to get the Asus - P4P800 Deluxe mobo and the Seagate 120GB / 7200 / 8MB / ATA-100 EIDE Hard Drive.

Now, since the Asus mobo says "serial ATA" - will that Seagate HD work with it? Sorry, I'm a noob with some of this stuff - what's the difference between ATA and SATA?

Thanks for the help!
