Hi ,friends

I have four CD writers plus one SATA HDD, i want to change my mobo ,cpu and mem form p4p800 to p5dw2 premium, i read the manual to see how can i attach these into the new mobo, but unfortunateky i found out that there is only one blue ide connector for the south bridge.

The ITE chipset has 2 red connectors but the manual says it does not support ATAPI devices ? I dont know what that means, but i guess it has no support for my cd writer devices,

if i'm correct what shall i do?
 
I am using one DVD ROM on the Intel ICH7R IDE port and two DVD RW's on the ITE IDE ports without a problem, the only way the ITE controller doesn't support ATAPI devices is that you can't boot from DVD/CD ROM drives that are connected to the ITE controller to install install an operating system, but if you use a DVD/CD ROM drive that is connected to the ICH7R IDE port to install the operating system there is no problem.

Hope this helps!
