On my Gentoo at home, yes. The mouse cursor skips, scrolling gets
skippy/laggy too. I have a dual core e6...@3.33ghz with 4GB DDR2 RAM.
Just like me, but I have it set to default clock: 2.4GHz. Beyond that,
it gets somewhat funny :-/

Hi,
I have much trouble to get sata working with an Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family)

Thanks Nikos,
I had a look in the bios, couldn't find AHCI (it's HP Compaq BIOS, not very
complete)
Glad it works, but in any case, search the BIOS for things like "SATA"

2. RAID
3. AHCI, Native, SATA
