Ok new dumb question for you guys, I'm looking yet again to upgrade my mother's computer and was planning on using a mobo with P35 chipset not a big deal I know but 1 thing slipped my mind IDE drives 
..
She is currently running 1 Sata 2.0 drive (320gig) not the problem lol, 2 250 gig IDE's and an 80 gig IDE not counting the fact that both her burners are IDE THATS the problem I'm having right now..
Pretty much all the P35 boards only have 1 IDE slot as you guys know already which is fine for the burners but at the moment she is running her HDD's with an ATA controller card in the machine she is currently running this is where I am unsure how to go and what leaves me tomy question..
Will I be able to use the ATA controller card on the P35 mobo This is the board I am planning on using.. She don't overclock and she don't game.. If I were to use the controller card that would work ok for her older drives right??
Unfortunately replacing all her drives is not possible right now
