Hello,

I'm in the process of selecting new computers, and I'm tempted by an 
ASUS P4P800, with Seagate SATA disks.

After googling a bit, it seems that the ICH5 is indeed supported in SATA 
mode from the 4.9-Release (perhaps also 5.1 ?)
(at least the chip is correctly identified by
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-pci.c?annotate=1.32.2.17>)

The driver seems to be a bit fragile, if this message is to be relied on :
<http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-November/004796.html>

Under Linux, the SATA support also is very recent :
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg223000.html>
it should be included in 2.4.23

So the question is : 
is there some actual, positive, experience in using the above combination, and 
with which stability ?

        Cheers

        TfH
