Gigabyte uses promise controller, sometimes promise(cheaper versions) require you to use it in raid mode to get the 133 bus speed. If say you dont use raid you cant use those connections. Promise does not give them very powerful versions of their chips. Its lite version.

2 x ATA 133/100/66 Bus Master IDE for RAID 0 and RAID 1 ( only two HDDs could be used by RAID function )
2 x UDMA ATA 100/66 Bus Master IDE

can anyone confirm this, as this board was my first choice, but i am doubting it now.
