Building a dual Xeon 2.4 GHz server...looking at several MB's and seriously thinking about SATA. the biggest question is obviously "will SATA really give noticeable performance?" basically from what i've been reading if its bridged its really not worth the money...
the MB's ive been looking at on Newegg are providing the Promise PDC20378 SATA controller. is this controller bridged? or no? and are there and suggestions on a good MB for dual Xeons? looking at iWill DPI533 and tyan Tiger i7505 (S2668)[this has the SATA]and giga-byte GA-8IPXDR-EC (leaning toward iWill or Tyan, dont know if i like the features on the gigabyte...)
the HD i was looking at was the 120 GB Seagate SATA...
thanks a mil, i dont know too terribly much about all the lil details about hardware so i ask questions from you guru geniuses and learn! )
Peace...
