ATA 300 on ATA 100 board?

[ZeroShade]

Will an ata 300 harddrive still work on a board that only supports ata 100? What I'm thinking is it will work but the speed just won't be met... as the board isn't capable of it. Am I right in assuming this?

yes, it will only function at ata 100

It'll work, but at a lower speed.
