Hi all, i'm having ABIT ST6 with P3-1400S and i want to overclock it. Which IDE controller and HDD will need to work most stably at higher PCI (40+ Mhz)?
Thanks.

If you can get it up to 66mhz, some controllers can take that.

How about a HDD? Which of them will be suitable?

Normally whatever you can find, but for this era I suggest 20-40ish GB in size. The type doesn't matter, as after the controller, the PCI bus speed doesn't affect drives.
