For most existing > computers, that is going to require a new card. That actually turns out not to be the case. While you do need a new controller if you want to use ATA133, the LBA48 addressing scheme in no way depends on ATA133. Running a 160GB disk on your old ATA100 (or ATA66 or ATA33) controller works just fine.
