Are there AMD64 motherboards that support SATA II

[marcd147]

I know Intel has motherboards that support ncq (part of SATA II) but I haven't seen an AMD one yet.

Are there any? in the nearby future?

I dont think either have full SATA-II support yet on any chipset.

(also note that NCQ does not make a large performance difference on supporting mobo/drives)

Nforce 4 ultra, expected in december will have SATA II, i just read about it on some site (xbitlabs ???) which linked to a french article on

google translated:

>>>
* nForce 4 : Standard version of the chipset, which is intended to equip the GCV with entry of range and which will allow the construction of cheap mother chart without sacrificing the performances


* nForce 4 Ultra : Version improved of the precedent having additional functionalities. It will support Sata-ii (3 GBit/s) as well as advanced options of firewall. Its price will remain reasonable


* nForce 4 SLI : As one can suspect it, this chipset intended for the workstations and the fortunate gamers will be the only able one to support mode SLI of new charts NCV Express train of nVidia


* nForce 4 Pro : Intended for the waiters and thus for solutions Bi-Opteron, the nForce 4 Pro will be thus the first chipset of nVidia only intended for this market. It will be capable to support a controller NCV additional Hypertransport Express train of nVidia baptized IO4, but it is another history...

In short, the new awaited range trés of chipset nVidia seems promising. At present, the final first samples start to be available in the laboratories of the manufacturers, the official advertisement is currently planned for the second quizaine of September... Wait & See.

Edit: hmm...advertizng in the second 'quizane' (what the hell is a quizane ? But if they announce it in September, maybe we should get it earlier than december ? MAN i can not hold off my build 'til december....but i guess i have to
