Whats the best AMD mobo with built in SATA?

[DarkManX]

I got a new WD raptor, rather then just gettin a controller might as well get a new mobo, so whats the best mobo out there? 5.1 Sound would be nice to.

Either the Abit NF7-S or the Asus A7N8X Deluxe would be your best bet. I personally would snag the Abit over the Asus, but they are both nice boards.

I'd agree with the above. They are both great boards but be aware that you will probably have to update the BIOS as soon as you get the board because earlier revisions of the BIOS had corruption issues with the SATA controller...

Good point. However, wasn't this only occuring when running a RAID array on the Silicon Image controller, not in a single disk configuration?
