I realize this isn't the best (right) forum for this topic but the Other Components forum has little activity.
Excuse me being a total newbie. I'm a little confused with all of these terms. Without getting into to much detail let me ask a few specific questions.
1. Looking at dvd burners at newegg, some are ATAPI/E-IDE and some are IDE. Is there a difference? (my guess is no).
2. Looking at the Asus P5W DH Deluxe under storage there is a *1 x UltraDMA 100/66/33 and a *1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66. What is the difference?
3. Still looking at the P5W DH Deluxe under Accessories there is an IDE cable and a UltraDMA 133/100/66 cable. What is the difference?
4. Can I forgot all this BS and just use a SATA dvd drive?
