Advise - P4 M/B with Serial ATA needed

[LouPoir]

I want to try serialATA. I know there wont be any difference with standard ATA100/133. But I'm bored.

I have tried 2 SIS648 m/b and was very dissapointed ( Asus and Shuttle ). The Asus unstable, both overclock poorly.

So I need serialATA and decent overclocking ( vCore above 1.7v at least ).

Looking at the Abit IT7 Max2 - specially since it comes with a serialATA adapter for standard drives.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you considered a serial ATA PCI card for the time being? I would hate to invest in a motherboard simply because it incorporates a brand new technology (that currently offers limited increases in speed) for the sole purpose of having it. That is the whole point of making the motherboards modular.

The new P4PE mobos from Epox, Gigabyte, Asus, Abit, and even an Albatron model have serial ATA
