I know one has NCQ and Sata2, but if i dont need NCQ how does Sata2 help if it does? Does the MSI Neo2 Platinum 939 board support Sata2 if not, then sata2 HD is pointless at this time? I know it doesn't support NCQ.


Thanks much 🙂

Neither SATA II nor NCQ really do anything for you in a desktop environment, and since the only SATA II-supporting chipsets for the A64 are the nForce4 Ultra and SLI, just get the regular SATA drive. NCQ can be useful in a server environment, though.
