Oh one more thing, if you get them, make sure they're ATA133. The most annoying thing to do would be top get 100 if your HDD is 133, then the computer slows down a bit

I think you can get two different types too... 40 Wires and 80 Wires or something...

Dragon made a topic on it once... Yeah, so look for 80 Wire once if anything is making any sense in this reply

I think it's 40 wires for a floppy cable, and 80wires for PATA Devices. So it would say either IDE/PATA or Floppy Cable. I need both anyway, I hate the big black view blockers that I have in my case, lol.
