puntoMX Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Your CD burners will have enough with UDMA 2 (33MB/s) (40p cacble), some burners can use UDMA 3 (66MB/s) but then you need a 80p cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 it is better to have your cd rom and hard drive on there own ide channel(hard drive on primary and cd rom on secondary)if on the same ide channel they have to share to channel(the bandwidth or speed)on there own channel they get there own bandwidth instead of it being shared) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
