Mainboard manufacturers usually like to offer Parallel ATA, which is not available in newest Intel chipsets, hence there is a need for an external chip. I guess, Serial ATA comes as a bonus with such external chips, and also provides the user with more choice on which controller to use. Also, I don't think ICH8 southbridge has integrated Ethernet networking capabilities -- these are usually added as an external chip, connected by PCI Express, as the following diagram illustrates: .

I should probably warn you against getting that board. I bought my first Gigabyte S478 mainboard in 2002 or 2003. That one had a very buggy BIOS; in fact, I send Gigabyte an email documenting the numerous bugs I found, but, unsurprisingly, they ignored it. A lot of annoying bugs, however nothing critical. A couple of weeks ago I figured time for upgrade was about ripe, but had a hard time choosing a mainboard (and the rest of components, for that mater). I read good reviews of GA-965 board, so GA-965P-DS3 it was... In the hindsight, this is the fourth time this year I find that I should not have trusted reviews, professional or not, no matter how many of them are there. In so many years, you'd think that Gigabyte would get their act together and quit making unusable BIOSes, right? One could only guess whether they just don't care, or simply aren't brilliant programmers, to put it mildly. First of all, the board just wouldn't power up from time to time; does not happen often, but consider that I depend on the machine wherever I am, and noone cancelled power failures yet. Secondly, when I hooked up 7 hard drives to it, one SCSI, it refused to boot from that SCSI disk. It simply disappeared from the list! (but gets detected by the HBA) Very frustrating. And where did the basic (BIOS: _basic_ IO) settings of boot-up NumLock and keyboard rate go? What about voltage monitors: just says 'OK' instead of voltage levels -- wtf? Yet they added a fancy (and rather ridiculous) "automatic overclock" functionality there (BTW, overclocking with this board isn't that impressive). Right, to hell with the basic stuff -- after all, it's all about impressing customers and marketing (you hear me, Gigabyte and Intel?), ain't it? During the course of assembling my new machine, I've had two WD5000YS disks fail (one lasted a week, the other -- 2.5 months; WDC refuse to replace them too, saying "out of region", which is bulls... talk), a new "quality" PSU died in 10 minutes (and behave very strange), a SATA controller with data corruption(!), a videocard that suspends my LCD depending on which characters are on the console screen (e.g., BIOS boot menu, file delete dialog in mc), a buggy, slightly unstable mainboard (that Giabyte one), and a case that isn't nearly worth the money in reality, despite not a single review giving that impression (in fact, it'd be hard to find a review mentioning bad things that matter about the Lian-Li V1000+ case). The only thing that impressed me positively was the CPU. But enough whining -- it could go on and on. The important thing to take note from from this rant is that today is not like old days -- put together a system, and it just works. Choose components carefully. And also, note my disgruntled state :) GA-965 might be not as bad as I described it (although...). It works so far, and the hardware will probably last no worse that all Gigabyte boards (if not more -- manufacturers finally started to pay attention to our complaints about poor quality capacitor). So if it's good enough for your purpose, and you don't mind all the bugs and quirks, then by all means don't listen to me %-) I would recommend considering e.g. an Intel board, for teh rest of you folks though.

You may remember my past complaints about the poor write performance of my SATA drive. Various things were suggested -- including replacing the cable, and the drive. Well, today I added another, even bigger SATA drive to my setup and writing to it still maxes out at about 9MB/sec. Both drives support NCQ, which the ata(4) still does not support... ata4-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad8: 476940MB at ata4-master SATA150 ad8: 976773168 sectors [969021C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue ata5-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad10: 715404MB at ata5-master SATA150 ad10: 1465149168 sectors [1453521C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue I was wondering, if you have any experimental NCQ-patches. Before I place valuable data on the new drive, I'd be happy to give those a try... Thanks!

The mxge driver is for a PCI-E nic. Myricom's M3F-PCIXF-2 NIC is a myrinet card that is compatiable with my motherboards, but the available software is against FreeBSD 5.x. At the moment, my cluster uses the builtin broadcom chips (bge0) and ia SMC 8624T GigE switch. I found a post by you that was not too complementary to this switch.

I don't have a processor religion, and relatively modest needs: a few SATA ports, preferably built-in video (for the initial setup), at least one IDE channel, support for at least 2GB of RAM and one processor slot (or two, if it will work with a single processor). Built-in gigabit Ethernet would be nice.
