If you leave in the IDE you should have no problems with the system operating
correctly, but the down side is that by default your IDE drive will default
as your #1 (or C:\) drive..... Make sure you get a good SCSI-2 drive, standard
access times are about 8-10 ms...... If you can afford it, get something 
like a Fast and Wide SCSI controller and a Seagate 7200 RPM Barracuda FW/SCSI Drive.
