Pretty straight forward question. I have also used Ultra Dma before.
Also, is this a good deal for $74.99? (from Outpost)
Seagate 300GB ST3300631A-RK Parallel ATA Retail Hard Drive
If additional info is needed, let me know.

Parallel ATA= IDE/EIDE, they are the same, so yes. Set the second hard drive as "slave" on its jumper settings. Yes, that is a good price. Try newegg.com for better prices though.

Yes, just set the new drive as a slave and the old one as master. That is a very good price for that hard drive...it's only ATA/100, but it has a 16MB cache and 7200RPM so it will be speedy too.

Yes you can put an ATA HDD in with a IDE HDD. You just need a ATA port on the mother board as well as IDE. If your motherboard doesn't have an ATA port you can buy one cheap from http://www.misco.co.uk.
