Any difference between SATA and IDE?

[Guru]

For a DVD-RW?

The mobo I intend to buy supports both, does it really make any difference at all which I chose for my new DVD-RW?

Cheers,

If I bought a sata one would it be likely to come with a cable? Just I've only got spare ide one.

They are nice silver rounded ones though q

No, Only Mobo's come with SATA cables. Check your box.

I haven't got the mobo yet, but I'm thinking of getting this one:

Asus P5K SE, iP35, S 775, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 1066/667/800MHz, SATA II, ATX

Unless of course the 20-30 quid I've got left of my budget would be better spend on a better mobo.

Cheers,
