This motherboard...

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1645240&sku=A455-2124

says that it has support for Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 but does that mean it dosen't support Serial ATA-150?

Weird. The Tiger detail spec's don't mention SATA support but what should be the same board on other sites do support SATA.

The board description does say SATA though and the picture shows 2 SATA headers.

It's probably an oversight in the Tiger advertisement.

Serial ATA RAID Support
The A8N 32-SLI-Deluxe supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.


I have the A8N-E and I have 4 SATA headers and that one I was going to get but why would I want SLI its hype thats all I mean my 7800GTX out performs 2 x 6800 ultra SLI so whats the point?
