There is nothing wrong with Asus motherboards, in fact, they are among the best brand ones.

mostlikely yes. But it wont be ATA100 but more like ATA133 or even ATA166. But you can still use an ATA100 HD on a ATA133 port though as it is backwards compatible (of course you wont benefit from the ATA133 speed). Vice versa, you can connect a ATA133 HD on a ATA100 port but again, you wont benefit from the full ATA133 speed.
Note: in practice there isn't much of a difference in speed between a ATA100 and ATA133
