well it really depends on what type of controller you have like if it is an add on card or and additional set of controllers on your mobo then it usually sees the drives as scsi devices which removes the bandwith limitation. However if you have an ATA100 controller that is a primary controler on the mobo (integrated into the north bridge) then you need a hot fix for win 2k to get ata mode 5 enabled. Win XP has all the sp2 bug fixes and add ons built right in including native support for ata mode 5.
