first off, im new to this forum, so im sorry if this is post is in the wrong place. but, im building a gaming pc and i ran into some trouble on deciding what cd-rw drive to get, so i have some questions:
1. cd-rw can read my games, so i dont have to get an additional cd-rom drive correct?
2. im currently looking at a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard here and the specs dont say anything about EIDE, IDE, ATAPI, ect... but the interfaces i find for the drives have only that... for example, i was also looking at this drive . its interface is EIDE/ATAPI, but my mobo only has SATA.... does this mean that the drive is incompatible with the motherboard? if it is, where would i find the right CD-RW drives to use with my mobo?
thx in advance, i hope i explained it clearly...
