Does this A7V133 configuration seem right?

I have just recieved my ASUS A7V 133 MoBo.

I would just like to know what you thought of my IDE DRIVE settings.

I have never done this before so I'm not sure.

Also what jumper slave/Master will the drive need to be setup as?

This is what I thought:

Promise RAID 1: IBM Deskstar 46.1Gb (PRIMARY MASTER) (Drive Jumper--> MASTER)
Promise RAID 2: IBM Deskstar 46.1Gb (SECONDARY MASTER) (Drive Jumper--> MASTER)
(^Above drives in RAiD 0^)

IDE ATA 100 1: IDE Fujitsu 8Gb (backup) (PRIMARY MASTER) (Drive Jumper--> MASTER)
IDE ATA 100 2: Pioneer DVD-ROM 16/40 (SECONDARY MASTER) (Drive Jumper--> MASTER
& Plextor 121032A CDRW (SECONDARY SLAVE) (Drive Jumper--> Slave)

Does this seem to be right?

I would appreciate any feedback. If the above it totally wrong please correct me. 🙂

Also what are the best PCI slots to put the following cards into:

SB Live! Player 5.1
Diamond Modem
Haupage TV Card

Thankyou for your help! 🙂
 
Seems fine, though I might put the DVD on the Primary channel as a slave, and give the burner master status on the secondary. This will make on the fly CD copies more reliable.

Also, I'd put the cards in PCI slots 3,4, and 5. Slot 1 shares an IRQ with the AGP, slot 2 shares with the Promise controller.
