Thinking of doing an upgrade, and noticed that the board I was going to buy was a serial ATA

my older version isnt

Will the new mobo still support my old drive (ie to copt the data) or am I going to have to buy one of the convertors just to copy the data over?

You should have no problems at all, probably have to use an 'old style' IDE cable.

Best plug the drive into the secondary IDE port rather than slave it off the master, as ATA cables don't fit IDE sockets and ATA drives don't like IDE cables. If my english makes any sense at all :rolleyes:
