Greetings all; wondering if anyone with a similar setup can offer advice.

I have 2 HDD's (Maxtor 80 Gig 7200 RPM ATA133) and 2 CD-ROM's (the Pioneer 105 DVD burner and a Lite-On 48x burner). I am wondering, should I keep both of my CD-ROM's on 1 IDE channel and both of my HDD's on an IDE channel 2 for best performance, or should I have 1 HDD on each IDE set as Master and 1 CD-ROM on each IDE set as Slave?

Don't quite understand the workings of optimum configuration to know the difference. I have a second board that I have a SATA-RAID setup without problems, but this 2nd box is vexing me. Thanks for any insight...

Cheers,

EnochLight
