Also the sound on the motherboard should I keep or spend an extra 70 bucks for an audigy 2? And Will it be able to connect to a home theatre system?

edit: sounds like marketing BS

Try doing some research.

"For MAX3, the ABIT Engineers listened
to users who were asking for information
security. SecureIDE connects to your IDE
hard disk and has a special decoder;
without a special key, your hard disk cannot
be opened by anyone. Thus hackers and
would be information thieves cannot access
your hard disk, even if they remove it from your
PC. Protect your privacy and keep anyone
from snooping into your information. Lock
down your hard disk, not with a password,
but with encryption. A password can be
cracked by software in a few hours. ABIT's
SecureIDE will keep government
supercomputers busy for weeks and will
keep the RIAA away from your Kazaa files."
 
i thikn the chip just encrypts your data in hardware instead of software... if your OS tries to write "illegalfile.mp3", the chip probably scrambles it around and then writes the scrambled data. very simple idea.
