Re: CPU questions...

I demand that Alex may or may not have written...

I'm building a new Linux workstation for my home (WOOHOO!) and have chosen
to run with the ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard, but
I have a question about which processor would work best...
[snip]
Oh, and one more question ... this mobo along with most newer ones use
SATA as opposed to IDE. I have a TON of IDE drives, so is there a
simple way to connect an IDE drive to a SATA HD controller? And if
so, any performance hits doing this?

If you're connecting <= 2 drives, there shouldn't be any problem – it looks
like that board has IDE support.
