A64 OCing and bypassing the SATA lock problem

[perdomot]

Several of the new A64 mobos have only two of the 4 sata posts locked but they do allow you to lock the PCI/AGP buses. I was thinking that if I get a PCI card with some SATA posts, I could bypass the problem and use more than 2 HDD when I OC. Has anyone tried this or do you think this will work?

I was thinking the same thing. I want a RAID 5 setup and Overclocking

the pci bus is already locked

the problem with the unlocked SATA ports is that it's not on the PCI bus but connected directly to the chipset

Yes, it should work.
