Dont touch an Asus, , Most if not all Motherboard have support for Both HDD's ATA an SATA, if you wanna look or read, search Google For SATA 2, SATA Drives Now Have/had issues with the RAID Controller(s) if not something else, i see myself it posted in Linux Newsgoups bout SATA Problems often, IMO, i'd stik to the IDE Drives For now,

Hey, what's wrong with Asus? I was going to get one (just gotta get some money 
).
Anyways, there are ATA to SATA adapters.

whats wrong with Asus?.. i cant remember who posted bout a problem with Asus,, aww yeah it was Blade, PM him an ask him bout it, but my personal problems with Asus has been 1 Minor Annoyance, an the Board wasnt old either, it was when i had a 700Mhz AMD , the Sound Chip on hte Board Blew which blew my speakers ( luckily they were cheapo's) but i then got an Gigabyte Board an have had a Epox Board ( but i wont touch htose again ) , do your Research on Asus Boards first before you buy one
as i revcall the Asus A7V333 Boards had there problems, which i think the Asus Deluxe Board had those Fixed. if ya set on a Asus Board i'd suggest this one, ASUS A7N-8X-E DELUXE

blades problem was one of the ram sockets didnt work
i have no problems with my asus k8n motherboard except it sucks for overclocking. (athlon 64 2800+)
edit: missed the key. i dont have a 3800+
Demandred: i'm not running linux
RE: Serial ATA..ATA/100... by Hank on 01-20-2005 at 11:50 PM
but a K8N is More up to Date Board, if you read or had of did the research urself, i was talking bout the older boards that Asus have or that i mentioned not the newer boards f there's , , this is not mMy Opinion, i keep in good contact with a guy that Fix's computers by Trade, , not all Cpu's are or go well when there overclocked, some do an some dont, but i myself have never overclocked a Cpu, i dont see the need to, why would i need to overclock a Cpu when using Linux? ..its fast enough anyway ,

There is nothing wrong with Asus motherboards, in fact, they are among the best brand ones.

quote:mostlikely yes. But it wont be ATA100 but more like ATA133 or even ATA166. But you can still use an ATA100 HD on a ATA133 port though as it is backwards compatible (of course you wont benefit from the ATA133 speed). Vice versa, you can connect a ATA133 HD on a ATA100 port but again, you wont benefit from the full ATA133 speed.

Note: in practice there isn't much of a difference in speed between a ATA100 and ATA133

Correct, but with a faster Bit rate performance than the True IDE Interface ,

ATA IDE Drives start from 33/66/100/133
SATA only goes at 150, depends on motherboard you have at the time i think, SATA 2 i dont know much about, but i believe is in the process Now, which i dont know if 150 will climb to a faster or stay at the same speed rate,
