Hi. I've got 2 HDDs. One is an older 15GB IBM drive supporting only UltraATA/33, and the other is a newer 60GB IBM Deskstar supporting UltraATA/100. I'm upgrading to an Abit KT7A mobo, which supports UltraATA/100/66/33.
My question is, what's the best IDE configuration for the 2 HDDs, given that I have a CD-ROM and a CD-RW to hook-up as well? If I put both HDDs on the same IDE channel, will the newer drive still operate at 100, or will it be bumped down to 33 to support the older drive?
Thanks,
