CD drive and page file Hard Drive on same IDE Cable?

My main drives will be SATA but I have a HD that I want to use only for a Photoshop page file and CD burner that I want to re-use on a new computer build.

I know you aren't supposed to put a HD and CD on the same cable as they would both run at the lower speed of the two. Would that matter in this case of a page file drive? Does it run slower all the time, or just when they are both running?

My new mobo only has one IDE connections. Will this work or should I just by a new DVD burner? Trying to keep from burning through too much $.
