If you get a new Intel 965 chipset motherboard,

there may be no place to plug in an old hard drive or even a brand new DVD burner?

Wow... the only logical reason would be that they want to start moving forward, and trying to force it onto the consumers... damn.

I'm glad I kept a couple extra ide-sata adaptors in case I run into this problem... hehe.

which will make the boards at least a little more expensive.

When was the last time there wasn't an aftermarket chip added for extra raid frunctionality or some other purpose? I see no differnce.

The biggest problem is the lack of supply of sata optical drives. Just looking at Newegg, the only sata optical drives are made by Plextor and cost around $100.

And the bad thing about add-on IDE chips on the mobo is that they most probably will use the PCI bus and not a PCI-e lane instead, flooding the PCI bus bandwidth significantly.

And like g0dM@n, I still have a couple of IDE>sata converters laying around too.

Click to expand...

It is just a single IDE that supports only 2 divices but I didn't think about it this way, the chances of you being right are about 95% about it being on the PCI bus.
