No. CD drives are UDMA-33 compatible only, so 40-pin cables will 
suffice. If you want something faster than UDMA-33 with your hard 
drive(s) though (assuming you have EIDE hard drives), you should connect 
it/them with an 80-pin cable.

Also, your BIOS should have the CD drive set to boot before the hard 
drive(s).
