Hi,

I have an old TUSL-C at the moment with 2 IDE HD in the box, 2 hangiong off a pci controller and 3 externals. I use it for video and audio editing.

I am upgrading looks like to the 2 Core Quad Asus P5Q3 (deluxe?) with a Q8200 CPU.

I am not sure what lower priced graphics card yet (must have 2 VGHA out).

I understand the mobo only has 2 PCI slots and is all SATA.

How do I arrange my HDrives here? Do I need to get at least 1 SATA drive for my XP?

I also use 1 PCI for mu M-Audui 4 in/4 out box card and 1 for my SB_live sound card.

I will use the mobo LAN and USB/Firewire and I guess anything esle I can.

How do I get over my hard drive connections and possible PCI slot use?

Thanks
