Max Veteran Posted November 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 29, 2003 What is the rough percentage of 800Mhz FSB motherboards that have onboard SATA? As those 800 chips are pretty new, the majority of motherboards should come with SATA, right?

Not sure if I understand the point of a providing a rough percentage, but for what it's worth, yeah, I don't know of a 800FSB mobo that doesn't come with at least minimal SATA functionality. Dare I say, 100%? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119468-percentage-of-800mhz-fsb-motherboards/#findComment-1417507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare I say, 100%? Well I may be getting a new PC. It comes with a 2.8Ghz 800Mhz processor, and I havent got the motherboard spec. It comes with an ATA133 hard drive, but I would really like to put my current SATA drives in there.

Well, if worse comes to worse, you can just whack a PCI SATA controller card onto your motherboard. If any motherboard is going to be crippled in terms of features, it would be an motherboard that comes with a brand name PC (eg. Dell, Gateway, eMachines, etc.). I hope for you're sake it has SATA on-board! *crosses fingers* Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119468-percentage-of-800mhz-fsb-motherboards/#findComment-1417629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomonkeycock Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Despite the minimal knowledge of a lot of employees for brand computer manufacturers, i would hope that if you phoned them up they would have a list of the MOBO specs somewhere. Even the name of the manufacturer and model, so you can look it up yourself Got my fingers crossed for you Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119468-percentage-of-800mhz-fsb-motherboards/#findComment-1417696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Veteran Posted November 29, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted November 29, 2003 Cheers guys. I'm not 100% concerned about the SATA, but it would be very nice to have. The situation is this: My dad gets an 'employee discount' on his work intranet for a PC. He's forgotten most of the specs, but here is all I could get: Pentium 4 2.8Ghz (800Mhz, HT) 15" TFT Monitor DVD-RW 80GB or 120GB (he's forgotten which) ATA133 hard drive. All for how much? ?400. (I'm expecting the graphics to be onboard or some shoddy thing, but I only use one PC for games anyway, so I will put my 9500 Pro in there, and the ATA133 drive into the PC I currently have) I would like it anyway, even if it is ATA133. I've seen a cheap P4P800-VM that I could put in which has SATA, then I could sell the motherboard that was previously in there or something.

If the board has an Intel Chipset they have to support it. There is no "Rough" percentage. The answer is 100%. All i875P and i865P/PE Motherboards have built in SATA or SATA-RAID on the southbridge. Intel was the first to bring a production southbridge chip to market with built in SATA/SATA-RAID. The ICH5 = SATA The ICH5R = SATA-RAID.

Max Veteran Posted November 30, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted November 30, 2003 Cheers xStainDx, I need a mobo with SATA-RAID. In the other thread I made, I will probably go for the P4P800 Deluxe.
