DS3 showing DVD drive & DVD-RW as scsi

So its a GOOD idea to use the JMicron drivers? Or.... not..?

You will most likely need it if you ever use S3 sleep/resume else you may be able to get away with the default XP drivers. I am using the latest JMicron drivers on my P5W without any problems, it's a good bridge chipset for ATAPI despite what others may say -seen much less incompatibilites compared to other chipsets.

The other thing to remember is to deactivate power saving options (viz. ALPE/ASP) under the BIOS/SATA else things may lag too.
