    need help with ATA100/IDE

    Now that I have my plan sorted out (sort of) I am looking at the hardware setup for my new, second hard drive.

    I have an Asus A7V motherboard, which has a total of 4 IDE connectors:
    1) Primary IDE
    2) Secondary IDE
    3) Primary Ultra ATA100 IDE
    4) Secondary Ultra ATA100 IDE

    My current setup is:
    1) CD-ROM
    2) CD-RW
    3) Current HD
    4) nothing

    My question is: is there any performance bonus to have each device on its own IDE connector configured as a master? Or should I use master/slave configurations on the primary channels?

    I am thinking of taking (3) and putting it on (4) and installing the new drive on (3).
