SATA PCI card a viable upgrade?

[mfenn]

Um, I was (I think) looking at Foxconn H61AP Intel H57 DDR3 1066 LGA 1155 Motherboards at Amazon which is showing at $54.99. Are we looking at the same page/mobo?

Yes, we are looking at the same page (I followed your exact link). It looks like Amazon has dropped the price since yesterday, so go ahead and go for it.
