Does it make any difference about the speed of the mobo's bus? It doesn't create a bottleneck of any sort transferring information between the comp and the drives I might have attached to that card? ACARDs will allow the use of CD-RWs? >> The UATA/66 cards aren't specifically compatible. Some of the UATA/133 cards claim to be compatible. Otherwise, the speed really doesn't make that much difference. So, go for specific compatibility with CD-R/Ws, and not speed. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
