FORC5,
Yes, I suppose I could get a m/b for that, but it would not be an Asus
m/b! And, since 2000, I have had perfect service from my 4 Asus A7N8X
series m/b's (and an even older CUBX m/b!). Yes, they are all
long-of-tooth. When they fail, I will replace them with current choices of
an Intel variety. AMD does not show me anything I wish to use in the
future. Besides, all talk on the List, and, reviews I read ATM seem to be
biased to WinTel solutions, or, Apple. Not ready to try Apple, but I am
not so sour on Apple any more.
Just looking for good SATA card to future-proof (play) an old ABIT m/b. If
for no other reason than it still works fine. I just can not Vulcan Funeral
a perfectly working m/b. And, since the two computer donation businesses
here have gone away, my other option is now gone................. :)
Best,
Duncan

FWIW have had good luck with Rosewill stuff, PSU's mostly and recently a
USB card.
