I was looking at this website only getting half of what it's talking about, and to think I'm trying to build a new computer....

What do the following MEAN?

- 2 x Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 Connectors
- 2 x SATA 150 Connectors
- 2 x CD-IN (sure, I could take a guess at this. Does this mean like I could have one CD-RW and a DVD drive?)
- 1 x IrDA
- 1 x S/PDIF Out port

... I'd really like to just know what they mean, I'm eager to learn more.
