for your question!

The Western Digital 10000RPM hard disk should work on your PC as long as your motherboard has a SATA connector. Your ASUS P4P800SE motherboard does have a SATA connector, so you should have no problem using this hard disk. However, it is always recommended to double check with the manufacturer to ensure compatibility. Additionally, make sure your power supply has enough wattage to support the higher RPM of the hard disk. Other than that, you should be good to go! Happy computing!
