Solve : UIDE?

1.	Solve : UIDE?
Answer» I have a motherboard which has 4 sockets. Two are IDE sockets with which I am well familiar, the other two are identified in the MANUAL as being 'UIDE'. Question is, what are UIDE and what is their significance? Regards Arcticfoxhttp://www.webopedia.com/TERM/U/UIDE.htmlThanks for the reply. Following your link produced "Your search produced no results. Search again?". That was to easy, I had been down that route. Regards RegNice mainboard, 4 ATAPI connections! The 'UIDE' ports are for your high speed Ultra IDE hard DRIVES. You connect 80-line Ultra DMA IDE cables between the UIDE sockets and your DMA-66, 100, 133, or faster hard drives. You connect slower devices like CDROMs and older hard drives (DMA-33 or slower, and PIO only drives) to the other two IDE ports. DVD drives MAY run better on a UIDE port. Make sure your BIOS settings enable the high speed drives.
