Okay, so its that time again when i feel the need for a computer upgrade, after quite some looking, reading and comparing i have come up with the following setup: [MB]Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe, nForce 590 SLI, Socket-AM2, DDR2,2xGbLAN,ATX, 2xPCI-Ex16 ->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=32...p;view=detailed [CPU]AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2,2MB, BOXED m/fläkt ->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=33...led#ProductTabs [GPU]Asus GeForce 8600GT 256MB GDDR3, HDCP, PCI-Express, 2xDVI-I/HDTV, DVI to HDMI ->http://www.ezy-electronics.com.au/catalog/...roducts_id=1840 [RAM]C

Thanks, My current motherboard doesnt have such functionallity, a seperare bios chip detects and configures the HDDs. But i guess what saying could be a possibility, but im thinking that it must slow things down then.. But it could be used when installing windows or something... I guess i will have to buy the stuff and hope installing will work or something... Anyone else have experince with installing windows on sata devices?

So im looking at buying a new comp soon, im looking at varius parts and stuff, but 90% of all motherbords only seem to have one ATA channel, this would mean that all my HDDs would need to be SATA, but will windows (Win XP Pro SP2) detect various SATA controlers? Or will i have to choose a custom controler driver (which is OK as long as it works) Any ideas/comments on this? PS; the hardware im looking at is currently a Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz AM2 2MB, and probably some Asus Motherboard... (not sure about the rest) Thanks //Joh
