I have an ASUS Mobo, K8T800 Deluxe.

Antec Silver Performance Case
AMD 939 3500+
ANTEC TRUE BLUE 480W
1 gig of Corsair
NEC DVD 16x burner
160G Seagate HD
Windows XP OEM SP 1a
6800 GT AGP 8x

I would like all the help I can get please.
I want to use SATA but I heard that it can be confusing setting up the drives. I am not trying to set up raid yet. I hard you need to set up the OS first with the drivers or I am not sure could somebody help me out? Thanks

I have been hearing about some problems with the ASUS MOBO but I am not sure if it is mostly the 754 or is it all of the 64 AMDs. I mean the 754, 940 and 939?

Section 5 of Asus motherboard manuals typically covers the SATA and/or RAID controllers, so read that :) What's your reason for wanting SATA, by the way?
