What's a floppy drive?

I actually like this layout a lot, except for the RAM slots and there should be 6 of them next time. The 8-pin power connector is placed quite conveniently in the middle of the board, which makes it easier for my case were my PSU is at the bottom of my case. My -pin power connector can't reach the CPU power connector placed at the top right corner of the board and this position is thus way better for my case. Although they would have done an even better job if it was placed more closely to the edge.

Any idea if the southbridge (intel ICH10) works any better than its predecessors with sata dvd drives, the older ones hated any form of drm when using a sata dvd drive.
