ATA/33 has 40 wires. Where as the ATA/66 has 80 wires. Physically they look the same. The extra wires are for grounding.

Which ATA standard was the first to require an 80-conductor cable?
Pretty sure it was ATA 66. Floppy drives were on the 33 format, that that's not an 80-pin cable.
What are three ATA hard drive interface standards that do not use a 40-connector hard drive cable?
ATA/ATAPI -4, ATA/ATAPI -5, ATA/ATAPI -6, ATA/ATAPI -7 (SATA)
What is the speed of ide drive?
IDE drives commonly use the ATA standard. ATA usually runs at ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100, and ATA-133. These run at 33 MB/s, 66 MB/s, 100 MB/s, and 133 MB/s respectively. Most modern IDE hard drives run at ATA-100 or ATA-133 while older If you have your hard drive on a 40-wire PATA cable and/or the PATA cable attached to your hard drive is also attached to your CD-ROM drive, your hard drive might be forced to run at ATA-33. For best performance, only use an 80-wire PATA cable and do not connect your optical drive with it.
What is the maximum data throughout when connecting an Ultra ATA 66 hard disk drive with a 40 pin IDE cable?
33 MBps
What is 3.3?
33+33 = 66
33 is what percent of 66?
33 is 66% of what= 33 / 66= 33 / 0.66= 50
What is 33 plus 33?
33+33=66 33 +33 66
33 of what number is 66?
33% of 200 is 66.
What is the GCF of 33 and 66?
The GCF of 33 and 66 = 33
What is 66 divided by 2?
33
How many conductors are there in an ATA 66 ribbon cable?
80
What is meant by ATA-33 and ATA-66 with respect to hard disks and which one will be recognized by Intel Mother board SE440BX-2?
ATA-33/66/100/133 are speeds at witch the hard drives pass information to each other and other drives CD/zip/ect. 33 denotes a speed of 33 megabytes per second max transfer rate. 66 Mbps and so on. The motherbroad will see both. but may not be able to transfer data at the speeds rated by the drives http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/se440bx2/sb/cs-013633.htm When in doubt ASK INTEL. True they don't support everything indefinetly (sp) but they DO SUPPORT THIS BOARD... Answer = "Hell NO!" Below is an excerpt from the page link offerd here. Will my ATA-66 hard drive work on the Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard? The IDE controller integrated into the Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard supports Ultra DMA modes 0,1, and 2. Ultra DMA mode 2, also known as ATA-33 or Ultra DMA 33, is the highest transfer mode supported by the Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard. The motherboard hardware cannot support the maximum transfer rate of the ATA-66 drives. ATA66 hard drives will only operate up to ATA-33 on the Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard. Please refer to the Technical Product Specification and the Motherboard Specification Update for more complete details on the various transfer modes. I had to look it up myself as I upgraded this very board with a better chip. Bloody thing will run a 550MHz processor and can't pass ATA33
