According to the technical reference guide for the Deskpro EX (ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/supportinformation/techpubs/technical_reference_guides/137h-0800a-wwen.pdf), this model uses the original Intel 815 chipset which does not support ATA100.

So don't buy the hard drive unless you also purcahse an extra IDE hard drive controller.
Remember, wherever you go, there you are...
