Ah I see ... thank's for that. The reason I asked this question is that
I remember reading someplace (a long time ago) that its preferrable to
have your hard disks on a separate bus from the CDROM coz that tends to
affect the disk performance (dont remember the exact details coz it was
a long time ago ... but I think it was something along the lines of what
you said).
