Just wondered if I could hook the two cd/dvd drives to the card and the HDD to IDE1 on the board? :confused:	B.M. (505)

I think it is the same one I have in this PC. from memory it uses jumpers to set EITHER ATA or SATA but not both at the same time. I just have it running one ATA133 330Gb drive at the moment.

The new motherboard is an Asus M2N-MX SE Socket AM2 mATX Geforce 6100. All fine, but the Motherboard only has ONE IDE channel? His computer has a CD Burner as well as a DVD Burner as well as a HDD of course. This makes things a bit tricky the way I see it. :confused: I don’t even like putting a CD/DVD on the same IDE Channel as the HDD so what’s the go here? This is a new one on me. Oddly, the outfit that sold the MB to him don’t want to discuss the matter. :annoyed: Why should they? they didn't design the board... Easy to fix, just buy a PCI IDE card or some IDE to SATA adaptors... Its very hard to find a board now with 2 IDE. SATA has made it obsolete, or almost. Notice lots of boards have eliminated the PS2 mouse port also now. He doesn't need a DVD RW as well as CD RW. Tell him to sell the CD RW. I always like to have at least 2 drives in each PC of mine, stops me going mad when I want to read 2 CDs at once :D	Agent_24 (57)
