On any mobo that can support SATA/300 one would think the bus/cpu could keep pace so wheres the issue? As to the comment about single disk (home machines I gather from your tone) not taxing UDMA100 much less SATAx I defently tax mine and most of it is near real time requirements so low latency does matter, -- Aryeh M.
