Hi all
I need to renew my Mobo and have been looking for a good one with a chipset that supports four ATA devices. I have my two DVD units and two ATA HD's that I want to keep and then some SATA units also. Most of the new chipsets support only two ATA units and some of them like the new Intel chipsets have no ATA support. Recommendations for a AM2/Core2Duo Mobo with such support would be appreciated. I have not found any yet that have DDR2/800 support and are good gaming Mobo's. Also I would like to ask it the solution could be a ad-on card (PCI or PCIe)? I have seen some ATA cards available but I have no idea if they can be used as a on board ATA plug for HD/DVD use.
All advice highly appreciated.
