如果你不是经常用cd-rom or cdrw-rom的话,就可把硬盘接到两个IDE的master上,这种办法接线有点难度,可以去买合适的线或更改一下排线上插头的位置。平时cd-rom里如果有闲置光盘的话, 最好取出。反之,如果要频繁使用光驱,则最好把两个硬盘放在PriIDE上,光驱都放在SecIDE上,以防止光驱拖慢硬盘速度。
up is right. Old motherboard only has 1 ide slot for DMA 66. that means only 1 slot for DMA66 Cable to connect to harddrives. So should be 2 harddrivers connect to the same cable and connect to the ide O. Ide 1 is DMA 33, that is for CD-Rom to use. Now, all new motherboards have 2 DMA100 slots, both can connect harddrives or all Roms. That means harddrives can connect to both ide slots. For inside motherboard, ide slots r controlled by ide controller, use more controllers, pc will running slower. if cd-rom is not using usually, so connect cd-roms to seperate ide slot, is my advance. www.ezoniccomputers.com
