However, I used an ATA66 to ATA133 Highpoint-system way back when; it was incorporated into a Promise controller card. I didn't like it because the controller's bios made the boot-up excruciatingly long. Maybe that has improved. And I suggested the Koutech 64-bit PCI SATA II card (not the 32-bit) because your mobo has two 64-bit PCI slots, or so I read in the specs. Steve - - - Stephen B.
