I hate to burst your bubble, but your Mother Board is 5-years old -- Very
likely, your built-in IDE supports a maximum of 33 MB/s. Whatever speed your
on-board IDE controller is capable of is all you are ever going to realize.
Unless you buy an ad-in IDE controller card, you will never see the faster
data transfer speed that your new hard drive is capable of. If you had an
an-in controller, you would not need Drive Overlay software.
