gigabyte ddr and upgrades

[lighthse]

after months of planning and analysis...finally come out with the following components for my system upgrade:

amd 1.4ghz 266mhz
Gigabyte dxc ddr mobo(amd760)
2x 256mb PC2100 CL2.5 Crucial ram@CL2.0
Enlight 300w psu
Swiftech 370 or maybe Alpha pal6035
Maxtor 60+ 7200rpm ata100 30gig
Western digital 7200rpm ata66 15.3gig
Sblive value
Creative 3d blaster tnt2 ultra
Sony 52x cdrom
Iomega 250mb internal
3com/scv eternet card
triple boot win98, win2k pro, win2k advance server


i'm not into overclocking and all i want is stability and good performace!
i'm planning to use this for 3yrs before next upgrade...
main uses: intensive web programming, web designing, digital graphics editing and multimedia software development

any comments? any compatibility problems?
hmm....should i buy a rounded ata100 harddisk cable....or should i use the default motherboard cable? btw how come those rounded cables so ex....whats the differences?

is maxtor harddisk hot? i have a kingkong harddisk cooler for my old western digital...but that cooler's real too noisy and crazy
i feel like doing away that cooler!!!

hope to get as many feedbacks as possible

am i rite to connect it this way?
ide...
primary master: maxtor ata100
primary slave: western digital ata66
secondary master: sony 52x cdrom
secondary slave: iomega internal 250mb zipdrive

then what if i intend to get a cdrw internal drive...how should i connect??

i believe the ata 100 uses different cable than your other drive, &amp; even if you can plug it in you might be running maxtor &amp; ata 66:disgust:
