I am in the middle of building a new system and wanted to know if i can run both an IDE drive and 2 sata drive in this new rig. also will there be any issues with setting up a raid for the sata drives.

ASUS M2N-E motherboard
AMD 64X2 3800+65W CPU
1 WD 80 ghz HDD
2 WD 250 ghz HDD
1 ghz corsair DDR2 6400 mem
XFX7900GS video card

Yes; that board will take 2 IDE devices (HD + DVD) + 6 SATA devices.
