It would be a good idea to put the DVD on it's own bus. Those are usually ATA-33 and will slow your hard drive down. Also, (this is the case with my CD-RW) some CD/DVD drives don't like using ATA66 cables, if you get weirdness (most drives are fine) try buying an ATA 33 cable. It looks exactly like a 40pin version of the SCSI cables. You'll note that the ATA66 and up have much smaller wires. Oh, and while It usually isn't an issue, be a little more careful with the ATA cables, the ATA66 and up are more prone to wear than SCSI or ATA 33.
