| Thanks for all who answered my request about Dimms in another thread... 
Let's go further in the list...
What DVD-drives (SATA or USB) has proven to be fully compatible with X5000 and OS 4.1 FE (and with burning programs)? And preferably of high quality and silent, too...
Regards,
Gregor

| Has anyone, by now, tested whether a USB DVD drive works and also boots normally with X5000...? It would free a motherboard SATA connector for better use.

Or if you have a free PCI slot you could add a SATA card for 2 or 4 more ports. |

You cannot boot via ANY disk controller in a PCI slot, as Tony has already told... At least until the KickStart is addded to the boot SD. And the idea of freeing a MB SATA would of course be to use that for some other bootable disk.
So, back to my original question...?
