No longer a fan boy of intels so i don't remember anything about their line of products anymore. But I have a feeling its like my DFI, and has another chip for SATA1 (150Mb/s). If this is the case, leave either an IDE or SATAI open. If you don't have SATAI on your mobo, then leave open either an IDE or SATAII. But the chip for the SATAII might not be backwards-compatible and support the SATA the drive will use. So in the end, if you have normal SATA (150Mb/s) you're safe. If you don't then I advise getting an IDE cable of your choosing for your new IDE BD drive. (soon to come :P)
Or ya can get a PCI card with SATA plugs and use that but i don't know if that's made or whatever you would prefer. If i get spare time, I'll do a little research on your board and see if I can help you out on that question a bit more.
