you mean cache? cache comes in 2MB, 8MB, or 16MB sizes. What are the specifications of your computer? Most likely any IDE hard drive will work, and maybe SATA hard drives will work as well.

Stick with an IDE hard drive, and you will be fine.

The board does have SATA;

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=600

• Serial ATA/150 controller integrated in VT8237.
- Up to 150MB/sec transfer speeds.
- Can connect up to two Serial ATA drives.
- Supports RAID 0 or RAID 1.

Though IDE would work as well... Either or would be fine.
