 From Apple:
<<Support via the BootROM
The BootROM of Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) computers and Xserve 
computers can accommodate these larger drives, although Apple does not 
provide technical support for user-installed upgrades in Xserve 
computers via the built-in drive carriers.>>

My message was:

I do not understand what this mean. When I bought a ATA/!133 160 GB 
hard drive I installed a Sonnet card to get the full benefit. The above 
notice was published after I made the installation.

Now: When I installed my Sonnet card I thought I needed it. But now I 
understand I could have done without it.
But going back to my original question, I have two slots left on my G4 
where, according to my manual, I can install 2 ATA/66 hard drives.
The large ATA 133 drives are always on sale, so if I can,  I would like 
to install them where the  ATA/66 should go. I am NOT really interested 
in the speed issue since I would use the drives mostly for storage.
