Ok,call me a noob.I'm just learning about the new SATA systems. I guess it is the new thing now.I like alot of drives so I may have to check it out.Heck,I'm still running Zip drives ( which I still like ) and probably will continue to because there are times when I want to download a file to a floppy.It may be to big for a 144 disc and not worth wasting a cd on so I use a zip disc.

?

Is there away to add more ide devices to my existing m'board by adding another controller card or something?I'm maxed out now. It would be cheaper than a new system I would think.

Yes, easily done. Highpoint or Promise PATA or SATA controller, you can another four devices (2 IDE controllers, master and slave each) Used them in the past and work brilliantly.
