It's advice well taken... On many controllers the performance of your
hard drive will default to the spec of the *slowest* drive on the IDE
channel. Which is to say... that if you had an ATA-66 as the master on
IDE-1 and an ATA-33 as a slave on IDE-1, you would *not* get ATA-66
performance from the master - it would use the ATA-33 spec.

This is not the case on all controllers (particularly newer ones) and
when it is, its not easily quantified. Stay safe... and use the config I
outlined in my earlier post.
