i've got 2 ide drives at the moment and have just bought the asus av8-deulux
which had sata connectors (as well as ide).

so the question, can i use both sata and ide at the same time if i go and
buy a sata drive? or is this impossible?

thanks in advance

They are all IDE drives. You will have to read up on the boot order BIOS
option.

They will work together just fine.
