kinda feel stupid for asking this, but can you hook up an internal SATA HD and then have an IDE DVD/CD-R/RW media drive? does this slow things down?

and does SATA II mean "SATA 3.0gb's" as newegg describes some of their hard drives?

oh, and would a SATA II HDD work with this mobo:

Normal Sata's speed is @ 1.5gbps. Sata II is twice as fast as the normal sata. So yes, Sata II is Sata 3.0gbps. And yes, your mobo and HD's will work. You mobo supports 2 Sata and 2 Sata II drives.
