Do yourself a favour and *don't* get anything Promise, Promise is only pain, no gain. A simple IDE PCI card (no Promise) is $60 up.

Of course in a new computer things look more... relative :) (though sinking those $60 into a better mobo may be a better move) > And it will work at ATA-100 speeds even on older machines.
