And use the MarvellŪ 6121 and 6111 SATA controller for just plain old storage. This is practically a brand new motherboard, just came out months ago, so you really shouldn't be having problems with it IMO. Contact Asus tech support and also look on the ASUS website for SATA300 driver updates.<br /> <br /> ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&amp;model=1751&amp;l1=3&amp;l2=149&amp;l3=591&amp;l4=0" target="_blank">http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&amp;model=1751&a...1&amp;l4=0</a><br /> <br /> I got the Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6 motherboard with no problems with the 2 x GIGABYTE SATA300 RAID chips on board but then again they are not made by MarvellŪ.:/<br /> text/html 2008-05-15T20:07:35-05:00 Arto Montonen http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71490/#536064 Check your BIOS settings and make sure they are correct.
