DVD RW questions?
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2007 7:22 pm
My MOBO is an ABIT IC-7MAX3. I know it's old but it is still a good one.

Gonna get a new DVD-RW.CDRW thingy and wondering if the SATA interface would be the best way to go. This board has 2 IDE interfaces as well as BUNCH of SATA stuff available.
As my old/new rig is going to have two IDE drives and one SATA drive, I was just wondering if it was worth the extra $$ involved to go SATA.
Next question is, on the IDE drives, set them both to "slave"? THe SATA drive will be the main drive eventually.
Thanks.
