HDD and Optical Drive sharing an IDE channel - any problems??

are there any performance issues?
obviously ide0 would have the system hdd [as master], and [in my case a dvd] as slave.
ide1 would have a burner and my data hdd.
the dvd [pioneer 106s] will not function on my board [gigabyte ga-7vrx] if not on ide0 - unless i decrease cpu fsb from 133 to 100.
not an ideal situation probably, but what would be the better one? fsb speed or ide sharing?
 
This is how its set up on my laptop. No problems there. My deskop was never set up like that, so can't comment.
