I *knew* someone was going to say that.  When asking about IDE, the
probability aproachs 1 that someone will say "IDE SUCKS".  Conversely, as
soon as someone says that, the odds of someone piping up about how fast IDE
is these days and how well it compares to SCSI also aproaches 1.

This is for a Windows gaming system with built-in ATA133 interfaces, SCSI is
a waste of time in this system.
