Does the Tyan Thunder K7 Dual Athlon support 48 bit Hard drive addressing

I was going to upgrade my harddrive in my system with 2 200GB Western Digital Special editions and I was wondering if it was going to support it.

I believe that 48 bit addressing is only available in ATA-133 at the moment, so can you tell if your board supports the ATA-133 standard or only the ATA-100 standard?

My motherboard supports ATA 100, but the two boards up from mine supports it.

They are all ATA 100

Western Digital drives greater than 137GB come with a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 card. 48-bit addressing in the box.

I used an U100TX2 on my S2462NG with no issues.
