I am building a computer for a friend of mine and I ordered this motherboard and it came with a IDE cable for 2 connections. I however, have a CD-rw, a dvd rom and one hard drive that have to go in there. All of these are older units so I am trying to put them in the IDE. My question is can I use a different IDE cable with 3 connectors and will it still work? I don't want to overload the motherboard, but I have never had this issue before. And to throw this out there, I know nothing about SATA.
Thanks.
