It would hard (I dare say impossible) to find a new motherboard that WON'T recognise your hard drive.

ATA133 is PATA and backwards compatible with ATA100 (ATA150 is SATA however).

An ATA/100 drive can be fitted to any board regardless of the board's specs.
The drive will simply operate at ATA/100 since the higher bus speeds are backward compatible with slower drives.
