My specs for a 2 year old computer I built... my first homebuilt

Intel P4 3.2E (stock not oc'd)
Asus P4P 800E-Deluxe
XFX GF6800XTreme 256mb DDR3 RAM, 256 bit
2gigs PC3200 DDR Ram (2-512 sticks matched RAM/gig)
Maxtor SATA 120gig HDD
Thermaltake Xaser v1000A case

Now a question.
Is it possible to use SATAII with the Asus P4P 800E-Deluxe motherboard? I want to go to a 200gb Maxtor SATAII HDD I found today. Price of $79.00 on sale that I can't pass up. I was told by the manager that if the connections with SATAII are the same as SATA it could be possible, but he wasn't sure.

I found this on the Asus website. And will answer your question;

Intel is the world's first chipset maker to integrate Serial ATA (SATA) and RAID 0, 1 functions into the South Bridge. The latest ICH5R chipset now delivers 150MB/s fast data transfer (SATA) and striping performance to enhance computing efficiency.

Your friendly neighborhood PC tech :)

BTW,I am using a hdd w/ SATA2 and made no changes to the hdd.

It works just fine.

It doesn't matter because no hard drive uses the full bandwidth of SATA 1. I think the WD Raptors get close, but still.

@ elite_hunter_sh3: I hate you. You put all of our computers to shame, even mine.

Because I dont know what mine is, I got the book out to find out,

NASA Military spec p50 at 5gig processor

Direct pipe to silicon valley for 1000 gig ram

Hard drive = Microsoft main server

Running sh3 at 27fps so I think I need to replace the microsoft components,

Ok the truth now

Median 3.6
Nvidia 6600
1 gig ram
160 gig HD
SB live

Average about 30-40 fps unless in port = 15-20

Thanks for the info guys. ~S!~

I'm going to get a 200gig SATAII HDD today at Staples. Last day of the sale on them at $79.00. Besides, I need a larger HDD anyways, this 120 SATA is almost full. ;) I might just get 2 of them for RAID setup or a spare. :)

I have found tho that my SATA is faster than the WD ATA HDD I had before. And too Maxtor is a very good HDD. The only thing is Seagate has bought out Maxtor and hopefully Maxtor HDDs won't disappear altogther.

Chaotic42, very nice pc but I wouldn't say it's overkill. The best you can possibly have for a pc today will be outdated very soon. Especially with all the new hardware coming out now. When I built mine I thought I was all set. Within 6 months it was old and out of date. Your's won't be outdated for at least 9 months. LOL ;)
