Motherboard/Disk-Drive connectivity

[event]

I just recently purchased a Intel Extreme DP45SG Motherboard at Compusa. I dont see any IDE port and have come to find that it does not come with one. I have 2 Disk Drives both fairly new and I cant figure out how I can connect them to the motherboard.

Any help is appreciated.

That is a legacy-free board. No PS2, IDE, floppy, or serial connections. You will need an ide card to make use of your ide hard drives.

Or return your board for a comperable board supporting IDE...

Thank you for your educated answer Knucklehead, I will be returning it. What has this world come to... IDE is awesome
