thats the mobo im looking into getting

IDE: 2x UltraDMA 133 up to 4 Devices

thats what it says

and the hd i have says:

Interface: IDE ULTRA ATA100

is it backwards compatible?

also, that mobo says it supports DDR 400 ram and i got the corsair valueselect ddr400 ram so i assume it works?

i just wanna make sure i dont mess up again (see: Please say its ok!!! thread)
 
Ultra DMA will support 133/100/66 hard drives. So yes its backwards compatible. Normal IDE ATA 100 only supports 100/66 drives.

Your motherboard will run any speed of DDR whether is be PC2100 or PC4000. Its recommended to use DDR400 (PC3200) though because thats what speed you'll need in order to run 1:1 with the FSB by default without overclocking.
