I have a 2011 Dell XPS 9100 machine. Great gaming rig but only support SATA 2. Would like to put a SATA3 mobo in there but realize I am limited by my processor and socket and possibly other Dell proprietary issues on current mobo.
The OEM board is a Dell (Intel?) 5DN3X

Y5K9X 1 Module, Processor, I7-930, 2.8, Bloomfield, XPS DT
8HK1K 1 Processor, I7-930, 2.8, 8MB, Bloomfield, D0
I don't know where to start finding a replacement. Any pointers to get me going?
OR would it just be easier to get a 0 PCI-Express 2.0 x1 SATA III controller card? I read that the controller cards are a bit more problematic than the mobo - plus I like the project idea of replacing by board ;^)
