Is that program reporting speed of the drive or the interface? I'm pretty sure even 
the latest IDE drives are not physically capable of utilising the full capability 
of UDMA133 interface (so in fact there's no point in having a faster than UDMA100 
interface in the drive). If that program is reporting on actual speed, it will show 
100 rather than 133.
