I have installed a second WD Hard drive in my Dell Dimension 4100. I had to use the 40 pin connector originally on my internal Zip drive. I now have nowhere to connect the Zip to the motherboard as all four connections are used up, two for CD drives, two for hard drive. I've seen PCI cards at online stores which seem to be able to give me two more EIDE slots called ATA IDE 133 PCI card. Am I mistaken in assuming this would give me two more EIDE slots? Am new at this so would appreciate any feedback. Thank you ahead of time.

Yes, you can buy expansion cards that increase the number of IDE ports, like the one you mentioned.
