hi kenb, you will find a treasure of information in the thread SiS530 @133MHz (GA-5SMM/Soyo 5SSM) setup, benching, tweaking which many folks here on this forum have produced together. it deals with sis530 chipset boards of all brands and types. My understanding is that this is one of the poorer perf...

converter: drives are recognized as ide-drives - otherwise the converter would not do its job ;) the converter also does NOT change anything regarding the size limit. in my case I used a promise-ide pci-adapter to connect the wdc6400aaks drive to the system. so it is the promise-adapter which is tak...

one last but important hint:
the sata drive must be able to communicate via sata-1 modus! most sata-2 drives do but especially in the case of ssd-disks one should be prepared that many manufacturers / models skip sata-1 support. so get sure that the drive supports sata-1 before spending the money ..

advantages of using converters over add-on sata-pci cards are - no usage of scarce pci-slot (less energy, less heat, no system ressources used) in case of using onboard-ide controller - you can use fast bootable ide-pci addon-cards (via-based sata cards are not bootable on s7-systems; they are boota...

New Sata-Drives in a K6-System
hello everybody, hope you are all doing well, k6-comrades! I am back again at least for this post to drop some info (time has become very limited to show up more often).

the reason why I re-installed win2000 (without installing ANY os-update, or driver-software installation) is exactly because of any program/driver issue that might have found its way into the system. but this approach showed that this is not the case, so I added a win-xp installation, which (also wi...
