    I've got an MSI MS-7093 motherboard, which only supports IDE and SATA1. Can anyone tell me whether I can use a SATA2 HD without any problems? In particular, the one I've got in mind is a Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 16MB SATA II 7200rpm.

    Cheers.

    Thanks - I thought it was, but someone on another forum suggested that there are sometimes issues with specific motherboards and drives, and I was wondering if this was the case for the ones I had in mind.
