then you must never have used any AMD CPU motherboards from ASUS or Gigabyte or ASRock etc - almost all of them have SATA ports from the AMD chipset *plus* 2 or 4 more from a Marvell or Nvidia or some other SATA chip, and possibly another 1 or 2 set up as "ESATA" Intel CPU motherboards tend to have less SATA ports built-in, but when they have more then the 4 or so provided by the CPU chipset, then they're also usually provided by Marvell or Nvidia etc SATA chips. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
