They recommend putting the CDROM on ide2 by itself with the 2 HDs on IDE1.

My initial reaction is to agree with the people who wrote the BIOS. Whenever you use the CDROM you are mainly doing a CD disk to hard disk transfer. Hence for maximum CDROM to hard disk transfer speed I suspect you would want the CDROM and hard disk on separate channels. Unless you have an unusual setup when you are trading you will only be using one hard disk at a time. Hence the two hard disks can be on one channel. If you are doing disk to disk transfers or running multiple programs which save data to your two hard when trading then you might want to experiment with your hard disks on different channels. Hence one thing you have to check is how often and how much data is saved to disk when trading before deciding on which configuration is best for you.

My food for thought.
