hi again,
i always thought that the best configuration with the IDE ports would be to have the cdrw alone on the second IDE as master. the dvd as slave on the 1st IDE and the hdd as master on the first IDE.
but now i hear that in this configuration the dvd can slow down the hdd ?
so it would be better to have the hdd alone on the 1st ide
and the dvd as slave on the 2nd ide and the cdcrw as master on the 2nd ide ?
i have :
hdd : maxtor 60 gb 7200 rpm
dvd : lite-on
cdrw : plextor (24x10x40x)
rest of the system :
cpu : amd athlon xp 1800+
mobo : asus v7 266
ram : 2x256 mb ddr
os : win98se
