Pay close attention to whether the RAID controller can be used for ATA and ATAPI drives. Some only allow use for RAID.
Hi, I'm building a new system, and I'm asking for recommendations for a motherboard.
I bought a cpu/mobo combo, and got a crappy mobo.
What I'm building around is:
Athlon XP 3000+ barton (333FSB)
1 gb dual channel PC3200 DDR ram (400FSB)
Ati Radeon 9800 pro 256 video card
Hercules gamesurround Muse 5.1 DVD sound card (is this crap ?)
Features I'm looking for are:
dual bios or an easy way to en/disable dual channel for ram (depending on what I'm doing)
integrated lan
2 SATA channels
4 PATA133 channels
firewire
I'll be running win98 and linux.
I'll be using it for gaming and video editing
thanx
