HDD Speed

Damn right. Anyway it doesn't make any odds. ATA100 it's detected as on mine and KeZZeR's. We're not lying Unless newer version spinpoints come up as ATA133. *shrugs*

Assuming that it's a reasonably recent drive then it depends upon the driver - the generic Windows XP driver will show UDMA5 but it will show as UDMA6 with certain IDE controller drivers (I've got 3 Samsungs).

Doesn't really matter though as the HDD's transfer rate won't trouble an ATA100 controller let alone an ATA133 controller - the mechanics of the drives limit them to below the controller's theoretical transfer rate even in burst.
