Dear SS
You don't need a ATA133 controller to run a 133HD, it will just run a bit slower that's all, but I doubt if you would notice the difference. It's worth making sure you have the best ribbon cable for your motherboard, eg. ATA100. Having said that controller cards are quite cheap and give you greater expansion capability.
I have just bought a couple of IBM Deskstar HD's 80GB at 7200 rpm cost less than a quid per gig and this drive came no.1 in a number of mags. Check out www.dabs.com
