Can I use a 80 wire ribbon cable with my DVD burner and CDRom
or should I use a 40 wire cable? Are there any advantages or disadvantages
to either one? Thanks,

It depends on which cable you have handy and if airflow/tidyness is a
consideration. In terms of performance on UDMA devices such as your DVD and
CDR it wont make a jot of difference.
