Arrow Slots?

Im a little new to this and i just needed some clarification of which cards fit in which slots. This is what i have heard:

The AGP slot is for the video card.
The PCI slots are for Sound, Networking, TV Tuner, Internet, and other various cards.


Is that right?

Does the Abit IC7 Max 3 Advanced have two spots for hard drives.

The mobo pic link is "forbidden" to me.

there are 2 IDE controllers, for 4 channels, plus 6 SATA ports. so you could have 10 harddrives if you really wanted
