Can anyone recommend a Socket AM2+ motherboard thats Got 2xIDE ports and Crossfire? I know its a lot to ask as i can only seem to get one or the other.
I was looking into upgrading my motherboard and it seems all the motherboards i come across all have 1 x IDE port well except one but its almost double the price of the "cheaper Boards".
Crossfire i guess i can do without but would it be useful to have for futureproofing? Having all the drives is more useful unless anyone can find a motherboard that has both?
Time to dump your old slow IDE drives and move up to SATA.
An added expense yes, but really why would you want to upgrade everything else to the new and best, and still run those old IDE drives?
You can always buy an add-in IDE controller card if you are sentimentally still attached to the IDE interface.

I have a SATA2 drive luckily its 1TB in size that leaves 1 ide slot for my DVD drive and 1 for a hard drive which will mean getting rid of 2 oldish drives with crap on them. Hmm dunno what to do lol.
