I built a PC for the first time in my life. (I had experience upgrading).

I have an Intel D945GTPLR Motherboard with Pentium D processor.

Question:

There are 2 IDE connectors on board. FDD & Primary IDE. I do not have FDD and will not use that connector. I have configured such that HDD will be the Master Drive and CD/DVD RW will be the Slave on the same ribbon and connected to the Primary IDE. I have read about doing this and am sure atleast it is the right thing to do. Also the BIOS does support such configuration, allowing to BOOT from the Slave device (I READ BUT WILL RE-READ ON THE SAME).

Will all Hardware be detected successfully by the Operating system like Windows XP?

I sill have to start the system but need to do the final checks.

I am agonizing over the decision to buy a new notebook. Runner ups are the D620 and the MacBook Pro. Can you help me make a decision?

Criteria: Core Duo, display with about 1440*900 Pixels, not too heavy. Main application is software development with Eclipse.

D620:

+not heavy
+Windows XP
+sturdy workhouse?
+integrated UMTS card (I don't need it right now, might buy without the card anyway)
+3 year warranty
-no DVI
-slightly more bulky than MacBook Pro (500cm^3 more)
-no fast graphics card (not that important, though)
-I've heard display is not too good, but I don't know?

MacBook Pro
+DVI out
+OK display
+sleek design (slot-in DVD)
+fast graphics card (but no games for OS X)
+boot camp, might be OK as emergency fallback
-OS X, I don't really like it, already have Mac Mini
-Possibly problems with whining noises and heat?
-only one mouse button
-keys for programmers missing (like "{", "|") - could learn them by heart, though
-more expensive
-only one year warranty (that's a big "-")
