Pardon me for interjecting here but I have to question this as I
have installed SATA and RAID well after the OS was loaded and
configured and had been running for 6 months. I followed
procedures according to Intel for my D915PBL board. I have RAID
and SATA enabled in BOIS and am only currently using non RAID
setup. Could I possibly be taking a performance hit and not even
know it?

Dunno Clif but I am beginning to think I should have got a Intel
board

It's not to late. They are about the cheapest thing you can do to
get the most fun out of. I love Intel with the Desktop Utilities for
monitoring and testing the System. Fan controls are handy too.

Yeah I know this machine is on a Intel D865G Board & 2.8 P4 processor
but I need to do a serious upgrade so bang for buck wise AMD is the
only way to go. I am doing increasing amounts of video production
these days- boat sales and bike racing DVDs mainly - thats why I
wanted SATA drives as part of the upgrade plan.

I have a mate who is a games freak he has the latest FaTility MOBO and
the silly money top spec AMD FX processor, liquid cooled, 2 x Gainward
7800 PCI Express cards, the whole bit, its amazingly fast and lit up
like a christmas tree on coke. I am probably going to get the credit
card out next week and trade what I have in for the same kit, now I
have played with the best nothing else will do.

Bugger it!

AMD, Intel, it is far more than a processor that makes a good System. I
have no games what so ever and I am running a P4 630 Dual/HT 2 G DDR2 WD
Raptor SATA and Maxtor SATA/IDE with Xtasy X850XT PCI-e on an Intel D915PBL
main board. All just for CAD/Video/Photo. No competition there so my old
System will stay old for awhile longer. I can say that SATA is working fine.
I am not all that impressed by a modest read/write increase. I was hoping
for more but boot time is short.

I have an old relic P4 2.4 on an Intel D845GBV Desktop board that this
System replaced last fall and it is just sitting there as a DVR.

Good old Intel and SATA computability.
