Hello, I have become disatisfied with the performance of
my existing motherboard. With so many mother boards out there I am having a tough time finding something to meet my needs/requirements? Can anyone assist in my search ?
(#1) I hate On-Board Video/Audio/Nic-card/Modem
If the mobo has any of these things it is
right away the kiss of death for a choice of
mobo.
* I want to reuse the below items as I can not afford
to replace these for at least a year.
(#2) I have PC100 memory (512 megs - 3 sticks)
ATI AIW (2x) 16meg card, SB Live Value OEM
10/100 nick card, Three ATA66, One ATA100
hard drives that are all 7200rpm. One
Plexwriter 24/10/40a.
There are times I temporaly add two other hard drives
to offload video capture work for moving to another
system.
If possible would like a RAID system. However I dont
want any ATA33 controllers! IDE1 and IDE2 must be for
sure a minimum ATA66 or better. I MUST be able to
enable DMA mode in windows98SE and I want IDE1,2,3,4
if IDE3,4 are a raid controller chip I would like them to use 80 pin cables.
