The mobo is Nforce 4 based, is this likely to cause any issues? don't know, but I bought the Asrock DualSata2 last week - ULI based - and surprisingly from the hw side were no problems But I also bought it, because of the socket-upgrade slot and the fast agp-slot besides pcie (didn't want to buy a new graphics card). If you buy a new card anywhere, such upgrade path is pretty useless for you so - if the Albatron has, what you want, and is in the price range, you are willing to pay - why not? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
