The earth is still flat :-)
You're ruling out the possibility of upgrading a current system to the newer
sata drivers. I'm still running an ASUS p4s533 board that I really like and is
stable. I've been playing around with pvr software to record deadwood etc and
burn it to DVD. Using a lot of space and filling up my 80gig Maxtor. I saw
the new Maxtor sata drive with 16mb cache and 250g. I wanted one. Got a
promise sata controller and hooked it up. Left my two other Maxtor drives
connected to the MB IDE. I'm a happy camper. Since my PS didn't have the
correct connector to plug directly into the Maxtor driver, got a sata power
adapter to hook it up. Case closed. works like a champ. The 16mb cache
really makes the drive fly.
