So, I bought this motherboard yesterday. Specs are here. I noticed that there was an option for an IDE interface but the E-bay pics show that the IDE header(J5) is missing as well as RP5 to the left of the header location and a few jumper blocks. Is possible to get IDE working on this board if I populate those missing items? RP5 looks to be a Resistor Pack. In one of the picks there are traces that can be seen connecting RP5 to the IDE header. What value of resistance would be appropriate here? I wonder if the BIOS would need to be upgraded to use IDE or should I put a ROM on a NIC with XUB?
