Larry, My understanding is that the relatively low bus speeds/bandwidth of unsupported machines like the PowerSurge models cannot benefit from the the faster 100 and 133 MHz ATA controllers, as they cannot move data fast enough to saturate even the ATA/66 cards' bandwidth. That being the case, your choice is between getting a one-time savings on the cheaper card, or looking ahead to using the card in a future machine that can put the better throughtput to use.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong 8-) (ducking and covering now. . .)
