http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ASUS-K8N-AMD-Socket-754-AGP-SATA-nForce3-250-MB-EMS-/220703726350?pt=AU_Components&hash=item3362f79b0e#ht_5060wt_1138 I just searched for 754 SATA on ebay.com.au You _are_ dreaming about the 4x SATA though IMO; I'd just get an expansion card. Or get a cheap bundle with new MB/CPU; it's not always worth salvaging an old CPU like that.
