Hello,

I just got back from Frys with my new computer parts! :) Anyways, im installing everything now, and I was looking at my SATA Drive. This is my first time installing a SATA drive. My motherboard is a Gigabite 965G-DS3. It has 2 different color SATA connectors on the motherboard, and the only difference I can see in the manual is what they are controlled by. There are yellow connectors, and the manual says "Controlled by Intel ICH8". Then there is a purple connector that says "Controlled by Gigabite SATA2." Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

My sense is SATA I and SATA II. One is clear and the other is inferred.
