 I have 2 250gb IDE hard drives (along with an optical drive). I am acquiring 2 250gb SATA hard drives soon. Can I use all of the drives with no problems (non-raid)? I assume that there will be no problem because they're on seperate controllers, but I just wanted to ask to be sure.

"School! Ah, yes. Then you haven't heard of the easy road to success."

 I'm looking at getting a new laptop, and I'm caught between two laptops with different screen sizes, and there's a difference in the video cards.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 360M 256MB TurboCache (128MB dedicated)
vs
NVIDIA Quadro FX 360M, 512MB Turbo Cache memory (256 dedicated)

What's the difference in performance I'm likely to see here, assuming I have a 2.2ghz C2D, and 2-4 GB ram?
