I am upgrading my sisters iMac 333 to a 60GB hard drive and with all the different interfaces I am confused so I was wondering about the one below, will it work? I know about the 8GB partition and all. Thanks.

Um, the one I looked at is ultra-ATA 100, does that make any difference?

That drive will do fine. (The 100 or the 66) Be sure to visit xlr8yourmac.com for instructions on the swap-out if you need them. (It is pretty easy.)
