ok, my son gave me his hp lightscribe dvd640.  i already have a dvd-rom and a dvd-rw on my tower.  there is a third slot for  additional hardware.  i was told by the local pc store that i could only hook up 2 of these drives, so why is there 3 slots.  also, if it makes any difference, i already have an A drive for floppys, so the additional slot is not for that.  any advice would be helpful.

i am a fan of FIRST person shooters, but did like the way jedi acadamy switched between first and third depending on the weapon you chose.  i.e. light sabre in third, great for battle scenes, and first with guns.  sniper elite was similar, third person while walking/crawling around but first when a gun or scope is drawn.
