I was just wondering if the performance difference on a p2-400 would warrant me trying to find a controller card that can handle ata100/133, and if so, how hard it'd be to get the motherboard to utilize harddrives connected up to said controller card? Also, it isn't a FreeBSD matter, but would it be hard to get the card to work with such an old board?
