I'm looking at a system and have a SATA / IDE compatibility concern. If I build a sytem using a mboard that is SATA compatible, what should I look for to know that I can substitute my existing parallel drives for the time being? Are these boards typically backward compatible that way or do I have to bite the bullet and do a complete switch?
Looking at Shuttle XPC SN 95G5, Athlon 64 bit CPU, 1 G Corsair RAM, SATA compliant; but is there any way I can start with my old HD and CD/RW drives?
Thx...
