I am looking at motherboards over at directron and notice that some of the nForce4 socket 939 boards are SATA II

Then other boards like this DFI are listed as SATA with

"Four Serial ATA ports
SATA speed up to 3Gb/s
RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1
NVIDIA RAID allows RAID arrays spanning across Serial ATA and Parallel ATA"

Is there a difference ??? Seems 3Gb/s is SATA II speeds.

Just want to make sure that if I go with the DFI versus the Gigabyte I will be getting SATA II and NCQ.

I think you've answered your own questions :)

Both NF4-SLI and NF4-Ultra based mobos' native nVidia SATA controllers are SATAII, which implies NCQ and interface throughput of 300MB/sec.
