For performance reasons a seperate channel is better. If you're anal about cable 
neatness, air flow and all that weird stuff a single cable does have some benefit for 
some people. I prefer the two channel method whether it's two hard drives or a disk 
and cd-rom, since an IDE disk can only do one thing at a time.
